We study the Γ-limits of sequences of free discontinuity functionals with linear growth, assuming that the surface energy density is bounded. We determine the relevant properties of the Γ-limit, which lead to an integral representation result by means of integrands obtained by solving some auxiliary minimum problems on small cubes.
Keywords: Free discontinuity problems, Gamma-convergence, integral representation, blow-up method.
