Abstract

In this paper we study the singular perturbation of by . This problem, which could be thought as the natural second order version of the classical singular perturbation of the potential energy by , leads, as in the first order case, to energy concentration effects on hypersurfaces. In the two dimensional case we study the natural domain for the limiting energy and prove a compactness theorem in this class.
