Abstract: We provide an asymptotic analysis of linear transport problems in the diffusion limit under minimal regularity assumptions on the domain, the coefficients, and the data. The weak form of the limit equation is derived and the convergence of the solution in the $L^2$ norm is established without artificial regularity requirements. This is important to be able to deal with problems involving realistic geometries and heterogeneous media. In a second step we prove the usual $O(varepsilon)$ convergence rates under very mild additional assumptions. The generalization of the results to convergence in $L^p$ with $pe2$ and some limitations are discussed.
