Convergence towards the homogenized solution in case of lipschitzian boundary (Q3152185)

The authors study the limit behaviour as \(\varepsilon \to 0^+\) (homogenization) of the family of elliptic problems \(- \sum_{i,j=1}^s \partial_i(A_{ij}(x/\varepsilon)\partial_j u) = f\) on \(G\) (\(s \in {\mathbb N}\)) with the boundary conditions \(u = w\) on \(\partial G\). Here \(A\) is a matrix satisfying \(m | X| ^2 \leqslant \sum_{i,j=1}^s A_{ij} X_j X_i \leqslant M | X| ^2\) (\(m\) and \(M\) positive constants), \(w \in H^1(G)\) and \(G\) is a bounded open subset of \({\mathbb R}^s\) with Lipschitz boundary. The authors extend in this way an analogous result [see Appl. Anal. 70, 45--60 (1998; Zbl 1022.65122)], where \(\partial G\) was assumed to have \(C^{3+\delta}\)-regularity. The authors prove the convergence of the solutions to the solution of the limit problem first in \(L^2(G)\) when the datum \(f\) belongs to \(H^{-1}(G)\), then in \(H^1(G)\) if \(f \in L^2(G)\).
