Lower semicontinuity of nonlocal $L^\infty$ energies on $SBV_0(I)$

Abstract

We characterize the lower-semicontinuity of nonlocal one-dimensional energies of the type \[{\rm ess}\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\sup_{(s,t) \in I\times I} h([u](s), [u](t)),\] where $I$ is an open and bounded interval in the real line, $u \in SBV_0(I)$ and $[u](r):= u(r^+)- u(r^-)$, with $r\in I$.
