The homogenization of nonstationary equations with contrast coefficients. (Q5934145)

In this paper the author considers nonstationary parabolic equations with coefficients dependent on two small positive parameters \(\varepsilon\) and \(\sigma\). The parameter \(\varepsilon\) determines a period of coefficients of these equations and the inverse of the parameter \(\sigma\) characterizes the scatter of coefficients of conductivity. The initial-boundary value problem for these equations models diffusion in a medium with \(\varepsilon\)-periodically allocated inclusions having small conductivity. It is assumed that one of the following conditions is satisfied: \(\sigma / \varepsilon^2 \to \infty\), \(\sigma / \varepsilon^2 \to \theta >0\), \(\sigma / \varepsilon^2 \to 0\), when \(\varepsilon\to 0\), \(\sigma\to 0\). The author presents homogenized equations whose solutions approximate the solutions of the equations under consideration and states estimates of the exactness of this approximation.
