Homogenization of the Poisson equation in a non-periodically perforated domain (1902.06134v2)

Abstract: We study the Poisson equation in a perforated domain with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The size of the perforations is denoted by $\epsilon$ > 0, and is proportional to the distance between neighbouring perforations. In the periodic case, the homogenized problem (obtained in the limit $\epsilon$ $\rightarrow$ 0) is well understood (see [21]). We extend these results to a non-periodic case which is defined as a localized deformation of the periodic setting. We propose geometric assumptions that make precise this setting, and we prove results which extend those of the periodic case: existence of a corrector, convergence to the homogenized problem, and two-scale expansion.
