Convergence rates and interior estimates in homogenization of higher order elliptic systems (Q1702583)

In this interesting paper, the authors consider a family of even order elliptic systems dependent on a small positive parameter \(\epsilon\) with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients, posed on a bounded Lipschitz domain in \(\mathbb{R}^d\) with a Dirichlet boundary condition. First, an optimal rate of convergence is established, as \(\epsilon\) tends to zero, for the solution of the initial problem to the solution of a homogenized one. Moreover, interior uniform estimates, and a uniform regularity result for the quantitative homogenization of higher-order elliptic systems of this kind are proven. The derived regularity estimates are applied to the construction of asymptotic expansions of the fundamental solutions.
