| Abstract: |
| In the past few years, much attention was devoted to the derivation of effective continuous energies for discrete lattices. Applications encompass atomic nanostructures and, more surprisingly, living tissues. The variational framework is widely used and allows to obtain rigorous resuts valid for large deformations. We will give a review of several related works and we will show that because of their intricate hexagonal geometry, graphenes require specific analysis. |
