Γ-convergence of functionals on divergence-free fields
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 13 (2007) no. 4, pp. 809-828.

We study the stability of a sequence of integral functionals on divergence-free matrix valued fields following the direct methods of Γ-convergence. We prove that the Γ-limit is an integral functional on divergence-free matrix valued fields. Moreover, we show that the Γ-limit is also stable under volume constraint and various type of boundary conditions.
