  2. 1. Selected Topics in Homogenization

    Author : Jens Persson; Anders Holmbom; Liselott Flodén; Marianne Olsson Lindberg; Mårten Gulliksson; Peter Wall; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; homogenization theory; H-convergence; two-scale convergence; very weak two-scale convergence; multiscale convergence; very weak multiscale convergence; evolution-multiscale convergence; very weak evolution-multiscale convergence; λ-scale convergence; non-periodic linear elliptic problems; evolution-multiscale linear parabolic problems; evolution-multiscale monotone parabolic problems; detection of scales of heterogeneity;

    Abstract : The main focus of the present thesis is on the homogenization of some selected elliptic and parabolic problems. More precisely, we homogenize: non-periodic linear elliptic problems in two dimensions exhibiting a homothetic scaling property; two types of evolution-multiscale linear parabolic problems, one having two spatial and two temporal microscopic scales where the latter ones are given in terms of a two-parameter family, and one having two spatial and three temporal microscopic scales that are fixed power functions; and, finally, evolution-multiscale monotone parabolic problems with one spatial and an arbitrary number of temporal microscopic scales that are not restricted to be given in terms of power functions.

  4. 2. Homogenization of pseudoparabolic reaction-diffusion-mechanics systems : Multiscale modeling, well-posedness and convergence rates

    Author : Arthur J. Vromans; Adrian Muntean; Claudia Timofte; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Reaction-diffusion-mechanics system; parameter delimitation; parabolic-pseudoparabolic equations; weak solvability; Rothe method; periodic homogenization; corrector estimates; vanishing thin domains; Matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : In this dissertation, parabolic-pseudoparabolic equations are proposed to couple chemical reactions, diffusion, flow and mechanics in heterogeneous materials using the framework of mixture theory. The weak solvability is obtained in a one dimensional setting for the full system posed in a homogeneous domain - a formulation which we have obtained using the classical mixture theory. READ MORE

  5. 3. Homogenization of Some Selected Elliptic and Parabolic Problems Employing Suitable Generalized Modes of Two-Scale Convergence

    Author : Jens Persson; Anders Holmbom; Liselott Flodén; Marianne Lindberg; Mårten Gulliksson; Peter Wall; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; H-convergence; G-convergence; homogenization; multiscale analysis; two-scale convergence; multiscale convergence; elliptic partial differential equations; parabolic partial differential equations; monotone operators; heterogeneous media; non-periodic media; Mathematical analysis; Analys;

    Abstract : The present thesis is devoted to the homogenization of certain elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations by means of appropriate generalizations of the notion of two-scale convergence. Since homogenization is defined in terms of H-convergence, we desire to find the H-limits of sequences of periodic monotone parabolic operators with two spatial scales and an arbitrary number of temporal scales and the H-limits of sequences of two-dimensional possibly non-periodic linear elliptic operators by utilizing the theories for evolution-multiscale convergence and λ-scale convergence, respectively, which are generalizations of the classical two-scale convergence mode and custom-made to treat homogenization problems of the prescribed kinds.

  6. 4. G-Convergence and Homogenization of some Monotone Operators

    Author : Marianne Olsson; Anders Holmbom; Nils Svanstedt; Mårten Gulliksson; Jan Françu; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; G-convergence; homogenization; two-scale convergence; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK;

    Abstract : In this thesis we investigate some partial differential equations with respect to G-convergence and homogenization. We study a few monotone parabolic equations that contain periodic oscillations on several scales, and also some linear elliptic and parabolic problems where there are no periodicity assumptions.
