Product Description
Over the last few decades research in elastic-plastic torsion theory electrostatic screening and rubber-like nonlinear elastomers has pointed the way to some interesting new classes of minimum problems for energy functionals of the calculus of variations. This advanced-level monograph addresses these issues by developing the framework of a general theory of integral representation relaxation and homogenization for unbounded functionals. The first part of the book builds the foundation for the general theory with concepts and tools from convex analysis measure theory and the theory of variational convergences. The authors then introduce some function spaces and explore some lower semicontinuity and minimization problems for energy functionals. Next they survey some specific aspects the theory of standard functionals. The second half of the book carefully develops a theory of unbounded translation invariant functionals that leads to results deeper than those already known including unique extension properties representation as integrals of the calculus of variations relaxation theory and homogenization processes. In this study some new phenomena are pointed out. The authors' approach is unified and elegant the text well written and the results intriguing and useful not just in various fields of mathematics but also in a range of applied mathematics physics and material science disciplines. | Unbounded Functionals in the Calculus of Variations Representation Relaxation and Homogenization

These can include: Express delivery, Standard delivery, Economy delivery, Click & Collect, Free local collection from seller.
Returns
Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Refunds
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
