ASYMPTOTICS OF THE SOLUTION OF THE DIRICHLET PROBLEM FOR AN EQUATION WITH RAPIDLY OSCILLATING COEFFICIENTS IN A RECTANGLE (Q3979844)

The Dirichlet problem for an elliptic second order equation with fast oscillating coefficients in the rectangle \(Q\) is considered: \[ \sum_{j,k=1}^ 2 {\partial \over {\partial_{x_ j}}} a_{jk}(x,x/\varepsilon) {\partial \over {\partial x_ k}}u(\varepsilon,x)+ a_ 0(x,x/\varepsilon)u(\varepsilon,x)= f(\varepsilon,x,x/\varepsilon), \qquad x\in Q; \] \[ u(\varepsilon,x)= g(\varepsilon,x,x/\varepsilon), \qquad x\in\partial Q. \] The full asymptotic expansion of the solution \(u(\varepsilon,x)\) as \(\varepsilon\to 0\) is constructed. The asymptotic expansion has the fractional exponents of the powers of \(\varepsilon\) and sometimes the powers of \(\ln \varepsilon\) in the essential part of the rectangle \(Q\) out of the boundary layers; this is usually called the outer domain. The fractional exponents of the powers and logarithms are due to the boundary layers of non-exponential type in the corners of the rectangle.
