Approximation of partitions of least perimeter by $$\Gamma$$-convergence: around Kelvin’s conjecture.(English)Zbl 1261.49009

Summary: A numerical process to approximate optimal partitions in any dimension is reported. The key idea of the method is to relax the problem into a functional framework based on the famous result of $$\Gamma$$-convergence obtained by Modica and Mortolla.
