Homogenization of Nonlocal Partial Differential Equations Related to Stochastic Differential Equations with Lévy Noise (1804.06555v4)

Abstract: We study the "periodic homogenization" for a class of nonlocal partial differential equations of parabolic-type with rapidly oscillating coefficients, related to stochastic differential equations driven by multiplicative isotropic $\alpha$-stable L\'evy noise ($1<\alpha<2$) which is nonlinear in the noise component. Our homogenization method is probabilistic. It turns out that, under suitable regularity assumptions, the limit of the solutions satisfies a nonlocal partial differential equation with constant coefficients, which are associated to a symmetric $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process.
