We study the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of some minimization problems
for integral functionals with convex integrands, in two-dimensional domains with cracks,
under perturbations of the cracks in the Hausdorff metric. In the first part of the
paper, we examine conditions for the stability of the minimum problem via duality
arguments in convex optimization. In the second part, we study the limit problem in
some special cases when there is no stability, using the tool of Gamma-convergence.
Keywords: capacity, convex optimization, Gamma-convergence, Hausdorff distance,
integral functional.
