Homogenization of non-linear second-order elliptic equations in perforated domains

Abstract

The classical homogenization method of elliptic boundary value problems is based on the continuation of a solution, given in a perforated domain, to the entire initial domain. This method requires substantial restrictions on the perforated domain (the “strong connectedness” condition). In this paper we propose a new approach, which does not use the continuation technique. Here the “strong connectedness” is replaced by the usual connectedness.
