Abstract

We present one property of the Riemannian metric which is derived from the positive power of potential functions. Then this property is applied to the study of the $\Gamma$-convergence of energy functionals which are associated with the Euler-Lagrange $p$-Laplacian equation.

Primary Subjects: 49J45
Keywords: Riemannian metric; $\Gamma$-convergence; functions of bounded variations
