Homogenization of a Continuously Microperiodic Multidimensional Medium

Marcos Pinheiro Lima, Leslie Darien Pérez Fernández, Julián Bravo Castillero

Abstract


The asymptotic homogenization method is applied to obtain formal asymptotic solution and the homogenized solution of a Dirichlet boundary-value problem for an elliptic equation with rapidly os- cillating coefficients. The proximity of the formal asymptotic solution and the homogenized solution to the exact solution is proved, which provides the mathematical justification of the homogenization pro- cess. Preservation of the symmetry and positive-definiteness of the effective coefficient in the homogenized problem is also proved. An example is presented in order to illustrate the theoretical results.
