Bounds and homogenization of integral functionals

From MaRDI portal





This paper deals with homogenization of sequences of integral functionals defined on appropriate Sobolev spaces. Assuming periodicity in the space variable of integrands (and natural growth conditions in the variable in which the gradient of the functions is placed), the author obtains new upper and lower bounds for the corresponding homogenized integrand. Conditions in which these bounds are much sharper than the nonlinear bounds of Wiener and Hashin-Shtrikman type are established. Also, conditions which make the bounds sharp are given.
