Homogenization of the Neumann problem for higher order elliptic equations with periodic coefficients

Abstract: Let

m a t h c a l O s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{d}

be a bounded domain of class

C^{2 p}

. In

L_{2} (m a t h c a l O; m a t h b b C^{n})

, we study a selfadjoint strongly elliptic operator

A_{N, v a r e p s i l o n}

of order

2 p

given by the expression

b (m a t h b f D)^{*} g (m a t h b f x / v a r e p s i l o n) b (m a t h b f D)

,

v a r e p s i l o n > 0

, with the Neumann boundary conditions. Here

g (m a t h b f x)

is a bounded and positive definite

(m i m e s m)

-matrix-valued function in

{m a t h b b R}^{d}

, periodic with respect to some lattice;

b (m a t h b f D) = s u m_{| a l p h a | = p} b_{a} l p h a {m a t h b f D}^{a} l p h a

is a differential operator of order

p

with constant coefficients;

b_{a} l p h a

are constant

(m i m e s n)

-matrices. It is assumed that

m g e q s l a n t n

and that the symbol

has maximal rank for any

. We find approximations for the resolvent

l e f t (A_{N, v a r e p s i l o n} - z e t a I i g h t)^{- 1}

in the

L_{2} (m a t h c a l O; m a t h b b C^{n})

-operator norm and in the norm of operators acting from

L_{2} (m a t h c a l O; m a t h b b C^{n})

to the Sobolev space

H^{p} (m a t h c a l O; m a t h b b C^{n})

, with error estimates depending on

v a r e p s i l o n

and

z e t a

.
