  12. Introduction The theory of Γ -convergence was invented in the ’70 by E.De Giorgi. Among the precursors of the theory, one should mention: • the Mosco convergence (for convex functions and their duals); • the G -convergence of Spagnolo for elliptic operators in divergence form; • the epi-convergence, namely the Hausdorff convergence of the epigraphs. But, it is only with De Giorgi and with the examples worked out by his school that the theory reached a mature stage. Luigi Ambrosio (SNS) Toronto, October 2014 3 / 11
