Abstract: We consider a nonlinear reaction--diffusion equation in a domain consisting of two bulk regions connected via small channels periodically distributed within a thin layer. The height and the thickness of the channels are of order epsilon, and the equation inside the layer depends on the parameter epsilon. We consider the critical scaling of the diffusion coefficients in the channels and nonlinear Neumann-boundary condition on the channels' lateral boundaries. We derive effective models in the limit epsilono0, when the channel-domain is replaced by an interface Sigma between the two bulk-domains. Due to the critical size of the diffusion coefficients, we obtain jumps for the solution and its normal fluxes across Sigma, involving the solutions of local cell problems on the reference channel in every point of the interface Sigma.
