Abstract
The regularization of discontinuities is discussed on the basis of molecular, computational and continuum considerations. Different regularization procedures may be implied by these distinct points of view. The mathematical motivation of regularization as an intermediate step in an existence proof is also of interest, but is not discussed in this paper.
