Multiscale Young measures in almost periodic homogenization and applications (Q834740)

The authors present results of their investigations concerning multiscale Young measures and their applications to nonlinear partial differential eqautions. First they give a review of necessary facts about almost periodic functions and the Bohr compactification \(G^N\) of \({\mathbb R}^N\). Then an existence theorem of multiscale Young measures on almost periodic test functions is demonstrated. As a parameter space the Bohr compactification \(G^N\) is used. Auxiliary results on flows generated by Lipschitz almost periodic vector fields are presented. Particular cases when such fields can be extended to homeomorphisms of an infinite countable product of an abelian Lie group are elucidated. Two-scale Young measures are used for solutions of nonlinear transport equations. Moreover, entropy solutions of the homogenization problem for a scalar conservation law in several variables are studied. The strong convergence for solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equations is investigated as well with the help of the two-scale Young measures. Finally, a homogenization of fully nonlinear elliptic equations is described. The existence of the multiscale Young measures in the aforementioned problems is proved.
