Abstract
We investigate the Neumann problem for a nonlinear
elliptic operator $Au^{( s) }=-\sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{\partial }{
\partial x_{i}}( a_{i}( x,\frac{\partial u^{( s) }}{
\partial x})) $ of Leray-Lions type in the domain $\Omega
^{( s) }=\Omega \backslash F^{( s) }$, where $\Omega $
is a domain in $\mathbf{R}^{n}$($n\geq 3$), $F^{( s) }$ is a
closed set located in the neighbourhood of a $(n-1)$-dimensional manifold $
\Gamma $ lying inside $\Omega $. We study the asymptotic behaviour of $
u^{( s) }$ as $s\rightarrow \infty $, when the set $F^{(
s) }$ tends to $\Gamma $. Under appropriate conditions, we prove that $
u^{( s) }$ converges in suitable topologies to a solution of a
limit boundary value problem of transmission type, where the transmission
conditions contain an additional term.
