Homogenization of nonlocal convolution type operators: Approximation for the resolvent with corrector (2311.16574v1)

Abstract: In $L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)$, we consider a selfadjoint bounded operator ${\mathbb A}\varepsilon$, $\varepsilon >0$, of the form $$ ({\mathbb A}\varepsilon u) (\mathbf{x}) = \varepsilon^{-d-2} \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} a((\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{y} )/ \varepsilon ) \mu(\mathbf{x} /\varepsilon, \mathbf{y} /\varepsilon) \left( u(\mathbf{x}) - u(\mathbf{y}) \right)\, d\mathbf{y}. $$ It is assumed that $a(\mathbf{x})$ is a nonnegative function of class $L_1(\mathbb{R}^d)$ such that \hbox{$a(-\mathbf{x}) = a(\mathbf{x})$} and $\mu(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y})$ is $\mathbb{Z}^d$-periodic in each variable and such that $\mu(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}) = \mu(\mathbf{y},\mathbf{x})$ and $0< \mu_- \leqslant \mu(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y}) \leqslant \mu_+< \infty$. Moreover, it is assumed that the moments $M_k (a)= \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} | \mathbf{x} |^k a(\mathbf{x})\,d\mathbf{x}$, $k=1,2,3,4,$ are finite. We obtain approximation of the resolvent $({\mathbb A}_\varepsilon + I)^{-1}$ for small $\varepsilon$ in the operator norm on $L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ with error of order $O(\varepsilon^2)$.
