A $\Gamma$-convergence result for variational integrators of lagrangians with quadratic growth
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 10 (2004) no. 4, pp. 656-665.

Following the $\Gamma$-convergence approach introduced by Müller and Ortiz, the convergence of discrete dynamics for lagrangians with quadratic behavior is established.
