Discrete Variational Problems with Interfaces
A systematic presentation of discrete-to-continuum results and methods, offering new perspectives on intrinsically discrete problems.
Gamma-Convergence for Beginners
The theory of Gamma-convergence is commonly recognized as an ideal and flexible tool for the description of the asymptotic behaviour of variational problems. Its applications range from the mathematical analysis of composites to the theory of phase transitions, from Image Processing to Fracture Mechanics. This text, written by an expert in the field, provides a brief and simple introduction to this subject, based on the treatment of a series of fundamental problems that illustrate the main features and techniques of Gamma-convergence and at the same time provide a stimulating starting point for further studies. The main part is set in a one-dimensional framework that highlights the main issu...
Sets of Finite Perimeter and Geometric Variational Problems
The marriage of analytic power to geometric intuition drives many of today's mathematical advances, yet books that build the connection from an elementary level remain scarce. This engaging introduction to geometric measure theory bridges analysis and geometry, taking readers from basic theory to some of the most celebrated results in modern analysis. The theory of sets of finite perimeter provides a simple and effective framework. Topics covered include existence, regularity, analysis of singularities, characterization and symmetry results for minimizers in geometric variational problems, starting from the basics about Hausdorff measures in Euclidean spaces and ending with complete proofs of the regularity of area-minimizing hypersurfaces up to singular sets of codimension 8. Explanatory pictures, detailed proofs, exercises and remarks providing heuristic motivation and summarizing difficult arguments make this graduate-level textbook suitable for self-study and also a useful reference for researchers. Readers require only undergraduate analysis and basic measure theory.
Connecting Atomistic and Continuum Models of Nonlinear Elasticity Theory
The nonlinear elastic behavior of solid materials is often described in the context of continuum mechanics. Alternatively, one can try to determine the behavior of every single atom in the material. Classically, the connection between these two types of models is made with the Cauchy-Born rule. The aim of this book is to provide good criteria for the Cauchy-Born rule to be true and to make the connection between continuum and atomistic models precise. In particular, this includes rigorous proofs for the existence of solutions to the atomistic boundary value problem and their convergence to the corresponding continuum solutions in the limit of small interatomic distances.

Information, Physics, and Computation
A very active field of research is emerging at the frontier of statistical physics, theoretical computer science/discrete mathematics, and coding/information theory. This book sets up a common language and pool of concepts, accessible to students and researchers from each of these fields.
