We characterize the lower-semicontinuity of nonlocal one-dimensional energies of the type \[{\rm ess}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\sup_{(s,t) \in I\times I} h([u](s), [u](t)),\] where $I$ is an open and bounded interval in the real line, $u \in SBV_0(I)$ and $[u](r):= u(r^+)- u(r^-)$, with $r\in I$.
This work deals with the homogenization of functionals with linear growth in the context of $\mathcal{A}$-quasiconvexity. A representation theorem is proved, where the new integrand function is obtained by solving a cell problem where the coupling between homogenization and the $\mathcal{A}$-free condition plays a crucial role. This result extends some previous work to the linear case, thus allowing for concentration effects.
This work is devoted to the study of two-scale gradient Young measures naturally arising in nonlinear elasticity homogenization problems. Precisely, a characterization of this class of measures is derived and an integral representation formula for homogenized energies, whose integrands satisfy very weak regularity assumptions, is obtained in terms of two-scale gradient Young measures.
