Operator estimates for non-periodically perforated domains with Dirichlet and nonlinear Robin conditions: strange term (2205.09490v3)

Abstract: We consider a boundary value problem for a general second order linear equation in a domain with a fine perforation. The latter is made by small cavities; both the shapes of the cavities and their distribution are arbitrary. The boundaries of the cavities are subject either to a Dirichlet or a nonlinear Robin condition. On the perforation, certain rather weak conditions are imposed to ensure that under the homogenization we obtain a similar problem in a non-perforated domain with an additional potential in the equation usually called a strange term. Our main results state the convergence of the solution of the perturbed problem to that of the homogenized one in $W_2^1$- and $L_2$-norms uniformly in $L_2$-norm of the right hand side in the equation. The estimates for the convergence rates are established and their order sharpness is discussed.
