Abstract: In this paper, we construct approximations of the microscopic solution of a nonlinear reaction--diffusion equation in a domain consisting of two bulk-domains, which are separated by a thin layer with a periodic heterogeneous structure. The size of the heterogeneities and thickness of the layer are of order epsilon, where the parameter epsilon is small compared to the length scale of the whole domain. In the limit epsilono0, when the thin layer reduces to an interface Sigma separating two bulk domains, a macroscopic model with effective interface conditions across Sigma is obtained. Our approximations are obtained by adding corrector terms to the macroscopic solution, which take into account the oscillations in the thin layer and the coupling conditions between the layer and the bulk domains. To validate these approximations, we prove error estimates with respect to epsilon. Our approximations are constructed in two steps leading to error estimates of order epsilonfrac12 and epsilon in the H1-norm.
