Visco-Energetic solutions of rate-independent systems (recently introduced in [17]) are obtained by solving a modified time Incremental Minimization Scheme, where at each step the dissipation is reinforced by a viscous correction $δ$, typically a quadratic perturbation of the dissipation distance. Like Energetic and Balanced Viscosity solutions, they provide a variational characterization of rate-independent evolutions, with an accurate description of their jump behaviour.

In the present paper we study Visco-Energetic solutions in the scalar-valued case and we obtain a full characterization for a broad class of energy functionals. In particular, we prove that they exhibit a sort of intermediate behaviour between Energetic and Balanced Viscosity solutions, which can be finely tuned according to the choice of the viscous correction $δ$.

Visco-Energetic solutions for a double-well energy $W$ with an increasing load $\ell$. When $\mu>-\min W''$ (left picture) the solution jumps when it reach the maximum of $W'$ and the transition is the ''double chain'' obtained by solving the Incremental Minimization Scheme with frozen time $t$. When $\mu$ is small (right picture) the optimal transition $\vartheta$ makes a first jump connecting $\mathit{u}_{\tiny \mathsf L}(t)$ with $u_+$ according to the modified Maxwell rule (9): $\mathit{u}_{\tiny \mathsf L}(t)$ and $u_+$ corresponds to the intersection of $W'$ with the red line, whose slope is $-\mu$.
The one-sided slopes and the stability region when $W$ is a double-well potential. For some suitable choices of $\delta$, $\mathit W_{\mathsf{i}\mathsf{r},{\delta}}'$ is intermediate between $W'_{\mathsf i\mathsf r}$ and $W'$.
$\mathsf D$-Maxwell's rule for a double well potential: when $\delta=\frac{\mu}{2}|\cdot|^2$, the ''last point'' where $W'$ and $\mathit W_{\mathsf{i}\mathsf{r},{\delta}}'$ coincide is such that the total area between the graph $W'$ and the line whose slope is $-\mu$ is zero.
