In quasi-periodic homogenization of elliptic equations or nonlinear periodic homogenization of systems, the cell problem must be in general set on the whole space. Numerically computing the homogenization coefficient therefore implies a truncation error, due to the fact that the problem is approximated on a bounded, large domain. We present here an approach that improves the rate of convergence of this approximation.

Abstract

In quasi-periodic homogenization of elliptic equations or nonlinear periodic homogenization of systems, the cell problem must be in general set on the whole space. Numerically computing the homogenization coefficient therefore implies a truncation error, due to the fact that the problem is approximated on a bounded, large domain. We present here an approach that improves the rate of convergence of this approximation.
