Homogenization of a nonlinear elliptic problem with large nonlinear potential

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Homogenization is studied for a nonlinear elliptic boundary-value problem with a large nonlinear potential. More specifically we are interested in the asymptotic behavior of a sequence of p-Laplacians of the form - ext{div}(a(frac{x}{varepsilon})|Du_varepsilon|^{p-2}Du_varepsilon) +frac{1}{varepsilon}V(frac{x}{varepsilon})|u_varepsilon|^{p-2}u_varepsilon=f. It is shown that, under a centring condition on the potential V, there exists a two-scale homogenized system with solution (u,u1) such that the sequence uvarepsilon of solutions converges weakly to u in W1,p and the gradients Dxuvarepsilon two-scale converges weakly to Dxu+Dyu1 in Lp, respectively. We characterize the limit system explicitly by means of two-scale convergence and a new convergence result.
