Over the past few many years, examine in elastic-plastic torsion idea, electrostatic screening, and rubber-like nonlinear elastomers has pointed the right way to a few attention-grabbing new sessions of minimal difficulties for power functionals of the calculus of diversifications. This advanced-level monograph addresses those concerns by means of constructing the framework of a normal conception of vital illustration, rest, and homogenization for unbounded functionals. the 1st a part of the booklet builds the root for the final idea with thoughts and instruments from convex research, degree conception, and the idea of variational convergences. The authors then introduce a few functionality areas and discover a few decrease semicontinuity and minimization difficulties for power functionals. subsequent, they survey a few particular facets the speculation of normal functionals.The moment half the publication rigorously develops a concept of unbounded, translation invariant functionals that results in effects deeper than these already recognized, together with exact extension houses, illustration as integrals of the calculus of adaptations, rest concept, and homogenization methods. during this learn, a few new phenomena are mentioned. The authors' strategy is unified and stylish, the textual content good written, and the implications interesting and beneficial, not only in a number of fields of arithmetic, but in addition in a number of utilized arithmetic, physics, and fabric technology disciplines.
