B2-convexity implies strong and weak lower semicontinuity of partitions of ℝn

Abstract: We prove that B2-convexity is sufficient for lower semicontinuity of surface energy of partitions of ‫ޒ‬ n , for any n ≥ 2. We establish lower semicontinuity in the usual strong topology, assuming the regions converge in volume. We also establish lower semicontinuity in the more general situation in which we suppose integral currents associated with individual regions converge to some integral current in the weak topology of integral currents.B2-convexity, formulated by F. Morgan in 1995, is a powerful conditi… Show more

“…This helps considerably with establishing regularity results, since such arguments are typically carried out locally, and it also helps with lower semicontinuity and existence results (see, e.g. [30,31]). THEOREM 9 (Local structure) Suppose P ¼ K 1::s 2 P s LS : Then for each x 2 @ tot P there exists an R40 such that…”

“…This is the well-known problem of Caccioppoli partitions and here the H 1 -ellipticity reduces to the BV -ellipticity (see (1.6)). Lower semicontinuity for functionals defined on Caccioppoli partitions was studied in [1,2], and several necessary and/or sufficient conditions for lower semicontinuity have been studied in [7,8,31]. For more general functionals defined on BV , lower semicontinuity and relaxation were studied in [3,5,19,29,30].…”
