Homogenization of elliptic PDE with L 1 source term in domains with boundary having very general oscillations

Abstract

In the present article, we study the homogenization of a second-order elliptic PDE with oscillating coefficients in two different domains, namely a standard rectangular domain with very general oscillations and a circular type oscillating domain. Further, we consider the source term in L 1 and hence the solutions are interpreted as renormalized solutions. In the first domain, oscillations are in horizontal directions, while that of the second one is in the angular direction. To take into account the type of oscillations, we have used two different types of unfolding operators and have studied the asymptotic behavior of the renormalized solution of a second-order linear elliptic PDE with a source term in L 1 . In fact, we begin our study in oscillatory circular domain with oscillating coefficients and L 2 data which is also new in the literature. We also prove relevant strong convergence (corrector) results. We present the complete details in the context of circular domains, and sketch the proof in other domain.
