Abstract

We give optimal bounds for the homogenization of mixtures of two types of ferromagnetic interactions. This is done by characterizing the possible -limits of the corresponding energies in a discrete-to-continuum setting. We show that for nearest-neighbour systems this characterization can be provided by a description of the possible limit Wulff shapes in terms of the percentage of one of the two types of interactions.
