\(G\)-convergence of linear differential equations (Q471858)

Summary: We discuss \(G\)-convergence of linear integro-differential-algebraic equations in Hilbert spaces. We show under which assumptions it is generic for the limit equation to exhibit memory effects. Moreover, we investigate which classes of equations are closed under the process of \(G\)-convergence. The results have applications to the theory of homogenization. As an example, we treat Maxwell's equation with the Drude-Born-Fedorov constitutive relation.
