Abstract
We provide a general framework for the design of surface energies on lattices. We prove sharp bounds for the homogenization of discrete systems describing mixtures of ferromagnetic interactions by constructing optimal microgeometries, and we prove a localization principle which allows to reduce to the periodic setting in the general nonperiodic case.
