Homogenization of a parabolic equation in perforated domain with Dirichlet boundary condition

In this article, we study the homogenization of the family of parabolic equations over periodically perforated domains . Here, Ω_ɛ = ΩS _ε is a periodically perforated domain andd _ε is a sequence of positive numbers which goes to zero. We obtain the homogenized equation. The homogenization of the equations on a fixed domain and also the case of perforated domain with Neumann boundary condition was studied by the authors. The homogenization for a fixed domain and has been done by Jian. We also obtain certain corrector results to improve the weak convergence.     

Homogenization of low-cost control problems on perforated domains

The aim of this paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour of some low-cost control problems in periodically perforated domains with Neumann condition on the boundary of the holes. The optimal control problems considered here are governed by a second order elliptic boundary value problem with oscillating coefficients. It is assumed that the cost of the control is of the same order as that describing the oscillations of the coefficients. The asymptotic analysis of small cost problem is more delicate and need the H-convergence result for weak data. In this connection, an H-convergence result for weak data under some hypotheses is also proved.     

Homogenization in perforated domains beyond the periodic setting

We study the homogenization of a second order linear elliptic differential operator in an open set in with isolated holes of size ε>0. The classical periodicity hypothesis on the coefficients of the operator is here substituted by an abstract assumption covering a variety of concrete behaviours such as the periodicity, the almost periodicity, and many more besides. Furthermore, instead of the usual “periodic perforation” we have here an abstract hypothesis characterizing the manner in which the holes are distributed. This is illustrated by practical examples ranging from the classical equidistribution of the holes to the more complex case in which the holes are concentrated in a neighbourhood of the hyperplane {x_N=0}. Our main tool is the recent theory of homogenization structures and our basic approach follows the direct line of two-scale convergence.

Homogenization in perforated domains with mixed conditions

In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of the Laplace equation in a periodically perforated domain of R ⁿ , where we assume that the period is ε and the size of the holes is of the same order of greatness. An homogeneous Dirichlet condition is given on the whole exterior boundary of the domain and on a flat portion of diameter if (, if n=2) of the boundary of every hole, while we take an homogeneous Neumann condition elsewhere.     

Homogenization of the demagnetization field operator in periodically perforated domains

In this paper, we study the homogenization of the demagnetization field operator in periodically perforated domains using the two-scale convergence method. As an application, we homogenize the Landau-Lifshitz equation in such domains. We consider regular homothetic holes.     

Low-cost control problems on perforated and non-perforated domains

We study the homogenization of a class of optimal control problems whose state equations are given by second order elliptic boundary value problems with oscillating coefficients posed on perforated and non-perforated domains. We attempt to describe the limit problem when the cost of the control is also of the same order as that describing the oscillations of the coefficients. We study the situations where the control and the state are both defined over the entire domain or when both are defined on the boundary.     

Homogenization results for climatization problems

This paper deals with the homogenization of a nonlinear model for heat conduction through the exterior of a domain containing periodically distributed conductive grains. We assume that on the walls of the grains we have climatizators governing the heat flux through the boundary. The effective behavior of this nonlinear flow is described by a new elliptic boundary-value problem, containing an extra zero-order term which captures the effect of the boundary climatization.      

A method for solving stochastic eigenvalue problems

We present a novel approach for calculating stochastic eigenvalues of differential and integral equations as well as for random matrices. Five examples based on very different types of problem have been analysed and detailed numerical results obtained. It would seem that the method has considerable promise. The essence of the method is to replace the stochastic eigenvalue problem λ(ξ)?(ξ)=A(ξ)?(ξ), where ξ is a set of random variables, by the introduction of an auxiliary equation in which . This changes the problem from an eigenvalue one to an initial value problem in the new pseudo-time variable t. The new linear time-dependent equation may then be solved by a polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) and the stochastic eigenvalue and its moments recovered by a limiting process. This technique has the advantage of avoiding the non-linear terms in the conventional method of stochastic eigenvalue calculation by PCE, but it does introduce an additional, ‘pseudo-time’, independent variable t. The paper illustrates the viability of this approach by application to several examples based on realistic problems.     

Homogenization of the oscillating Dirichlet boundary condition in general domains

We prove the homogenization of the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic operators with periodic oscillation in the operator and in the boundary condition for a general class of smooth bounded domains. This extends the previous results of Barles and Mironescu (2012) [4] in half spaces. We show that homogenization holds despite a possible lack of continuity in the homogenized boundary data. The proof is based on a comparison principle with partial Dirichlet boundary data which is of independent interest.     

Homogenization of periodic optimal control problems via multi-scale convergence

The aim of this paper is to provide an alternate treatment of the homogenization of an optimal control problem in the framework of two-scale (multi-scale) convergence in the periodic case. The main advantage of this method is that we are able to show the convergence of cost functionals directly without going through the adjoint equation. We use a corrector result for the solution of the state equation to achieve this.     

Homogenization and correctors for monotone problems in cylinders of small diameter

In this paper we study the homogenization of monotone diffusion equations posed in an N  -dimensional cylinder which converges to a (one-dimensional) segment line. In other terms, we pass to the limit in diffusion monotone equations posed in a cylinder whose diameter tends to zero, when simultaneously the coefficients of the equations (which are not necessarily periodic) are also varying. We obtain a limit system in both the macroscopic (one-dimensional) variable and the microscopic variable. This system is nonlocal. From this system we obtain by elimination an equation in the macroscopic variable which is local, but in contrast with usual results, the operator depends on the right-hand side of the equations. We also obtain a corrector result, i.e. an approximation of the gradients of the solutions in the strong topology of the space L^p$L^p$ in which the monotone operators are defined.     

Homogenization in general periodically perforated domains by a spectral approach

In this article we study the asymptotic behaviour as tends to 0 of the Neumann problem $-\Delta u_\epsilon+u_\epsilon=\epsilon$-periodic bounded open set of . The period cell of is equal to where is a regular open subset of the d-dimensional torus. We prove that if there exists a smallest integer such that the n-th non-zero eigenvalue of the spectral problem in satisfies , the limiting problem is a linear system of second order p.d.e.'s, of size n. By this spectral approach we extend in the periodic framework a result due to Khruslov without making strong geometrical assumptions on the perforated domain .

Nonlinear parabolic problems in perforated domains

The behavior of the remainder term of the asymptotic expansion for solutions of a quasi-linear parabolic Cauchy-Dirichlet problem in a sequence of domains with fine-granulated boundary is studied. By using a modification of the asymptotic expansion and new pointwise estimates of solutions of the model problem, the uniform convergence of the remainder term to zero is proved.

Homogenization of elliptic eigenvalue problems: Part 2

The aim of this paper is to study the homogenization of elliptic eigenvalue problems, with a second order homogeneous Dirichlet problem as an example. The main homogenization theorem states that the same operator which serves to homogenize the corresponding static problem works for the eigenvalue problem as well and that the structure of eigenvalues and eigenvectors is in some sense preserved. Formulae for first and second order correctors for eigenvalues are proposed and error estimates are obtained. These results are applied to the case of coefficients with a periodic structure and a simple numerical example is presented. Extensions to other types of boundary conditions and to higher order equations are indicated.

Homogenization of the Neumann problem in perforated domains: an alternative approach

The main result of this paper is a compactness theorem for families of functions in the space SBV (Special functions of Bounded Variation) defined on periodically perforated domains. Given an open and bounded set ${\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n}$ , and an open, connected, and (?1/2, 1/2) ⁿ -periodic set ${P\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n}$ , consider for any ???>?0 the perforated domain ?? _?? :=????????? P. Let ${(u_\varepsilon)\subset SBV^p(\Omega_{\varepsilon})}$ , p?>?1, be such that ${\int_{\Omega_{\varepsilon}}\left|{\nabla{u}_\varepsilon}\right|^pdx+\mathcal{H}^{n-1}(S_{u_\varepsilon}\,\cap\,\Omega_{\varepsilon}) +\left\Vert{u_\varepsilon}\right\Vert_{L^p(\Omega_{\varepsilon})}}$ is bounded. Then, we prove that, up to a subsequence, there exists ${u\in GSBV^p\,\cap\, L^p(\Omega)}$ satisfying ${\lim_\varepsilon\left\Vert{u-u_\varepsilon}\right\Vert_{L^1(\Omega_{\varepsilon})}=0}$ . Our analysis avoids the use of any extension procedure in SBV, weakens the hypotheses on P to the minimal ones and simplifies the proof of the results recently obtained in Focardi et?al. (Math Models Methods Appl Sci 19:2065?C2100, 2009) and Cagnetti and Scardia (J Math Pures Appl (9), to appear). Among the arguments we introduce, we provide a localized version of the Poincaré-Wirtinger inequality in SBV. As a possible application we study the asymptotic behavior of a brittle porous material represented by the perforated domain ?? _?? . Finally, we slightly extend the well-known homogenization theorem for Sobolev energies on perforated domains.
