    Reverse approximation of energetic solutions to rate-independent processes
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Mielke, Alexander; Rindler, Filip
    Energetic solutions to rate-independent processes are usually constructed via time-incremental minimization problems. In this work we show that all energetic solutions can be approximated by incremental problems if we allow approximate minimizers, where the error in minimization has to be of the order of the time step. Moreover, we study sequences of problems where the energy functionals have a Gamma limit.
