[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00038.] This paper is a review of previous studies of the same author, published from 1974 to 1990, and dealing with some homogenized models which arise in homogenization of boundary value problems describing physical processes in highly heterogeneous media. Typically, a bounded open set \(\Omega\) in space \(R^ n\) \((n\geq 2)\) is perforated by the set \(F^ s (s=1,2,\dots)\) and for \(s\to \infty F^ s\) becomes progressively more refined and more dense in \(\Omega\). The asymptotic behaviour for \(s\to\infty\) solutions of boundary-value problems in domains \(\Omega^ s=\Omega\backslash F^ s\) is studied in order to state general conditions of convergence of these solutions to functions determined in the domain \(\Omega\) and to find the homogenized equations describing these functions. The form of homogenized equations essentially depends on the geometric structure of the sets \(F^ s\) and the boundary conditions on these sets. The paper emphasizes some physical processes which lead to unusual homogenized models. In such a way, are studied the boundary-value problems for the Helmholtz equation in highly perforated domains \(\Omega^ s\), with Dirichlet conditions on \(\partial\Omega^ s\), or with Neumann conditions on \(\partial\Omega^ s\). In the later case, for domains \(\Omega^ s\) which do not satisfy the strong connectivity condition the homogenized model is not classical (vector model, model with memory). The homogenization of physical processes governed by partial differential equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients which do not satisfy conditions of uniform ellipticity or boundedness leads also to unusual homogenized models (nonlocal model, vector model, model with memory). This is a very interesting paper for modelization of physical and mechanical processes.
