Given an open and bounded set Ω ⊆ ℝ n {\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}} and a family 𝐗 = ( X 1 , … , X m ) {\mathbf{X}=(X_{1},\ldots,X_{m})} of Lipschitz vector fields on Ω, with m ≤ n {m\leq n} , we characterize three classes of local functionals defined on first-order X-Sobolev spaces, which admit an integral representation in terms of X, i.e. F ( u , A ) = ∫ A f ( x , u ( x ) , X u ( x ) ) 𝑑 x , F(u,A)=\int_{A}f(x,u(x),Xu(x))\,dx, with f being a Carathéodory integrand.
This paper is devoted to the study of geodesic distances defined on a subdomain of a given Carnot group, which are bounded both from above and from below by fixed multiples of the Carnot–Carath´eodory distance. We show that the uniform convergence (on compact sets) of these distances can be equivalently characterized in terms of Γ-convergence of several kinds of variational problems. Moreover, we investigate the relation between the class of intrinsic distances, their metric derivatives and the sub-Finsler convex metrics defined on the horizontal bundle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
