Homogenization in perforated domains and interior Lipschitz estimates

Abstract

We establish interior Lipschitz estimates at the macroscopic scale for solutions to systems of linear elasticity with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients and mixed boundary conditions in domains periodically perforated at a microscopic scale ε by establishing H1-convergence rates for such solutions. The interior estimates are derived directly without the use of compactness via an argument presented in [3] that was adapted for elliptic equations in [2] and [11]. As a consequence, we derive a Liouville type estimate for solutions to the systems of linear elasticity in unbounded periodically perforated domains.
