Review text

The authors deal with the Neumann problem \[ -\text{div} \bigl(| Du |^{p-2} Du\bigr) +| u|^{p-2} u=f \text{ in } \Omega, \quad | Du |^{p-2} \partial u \partial/ \nu=0 \text{ on } \partial \Omega, \] where \(2\leq p< \infty\), \(f\in L^{p/(p-1)} (\Omega)\), and \(\Omega= \Omega_h \subset\mathbb{R}^n\) is a subdomain depending on a parameter \(h\in \mathbb{N}\) with the ``oscillating upper boundary. More precisely, \(\Omega= \Omega^-\cup \Omega^+\) where \(\Omega^- =[0,1]^{n-1} \times [-c,0]\), \(\Omega^+ =(\cup {1\over h} (\omega +k)) \times [0,d]\), \(k=(k_1, \dots, k_n) \subset \mathbb{N}^n\) with \(0\leq k_i\leq h-1\) for all \(i=1, \dots, n-1\); moreover, \(c,d>0\) are constants, and \(\omega \subset [0,1]^{n-1}\) is an open subset with smooth boundary. (Alternatively: \(\Omega\) consists of a parallelepiped and a union of cylinders rescaled by an \(h^{-1}\) homothety from a fixed one with the basis \(\omega\), and distributed with \(h^{-1}\) periodicity over the upper side of the parallepiped.) The main result states that the solution \(u \) converges to the solution \(v\) of the minimization problem \[ \inf \left(\text{meas }\omega \int_{\Omega^+} \left| {\partial v\over \partial x^n} \right|^p +| v|^p- pfv \right) dx+ \int_{\Omega^-} \bigl(| Dv |^p+ | v|^p- pfv\bigr)dx \] as \(h\to \infty\). (This problem is equivalent to certain Euler equations which cannot be stated here).
