• Homogenization of periodic optimal control problems via multi-scale convergence

The aim of this paper is to provide an alternate treatment of the homogenization of an optimal control problem in the framework of two-scale (multi-scale) convergence in the periodic case. The main advantage of this method is that we are able to show the convergence of cost functionals directly without going through the adjoint equation. We use a corrector result for the solution of the state equation to achieve this.

• Homogenization of a parabolic equation in perforated domain with Neumann boundary condition

In this article, we study the homogenization of the family of parabolic equations over periodically perforated domains$$\begin{gathered} \partial _t b(\tfrac{x}{\varepsilon },u_\varepsilon ) - diva(\tfrac{x}{\varepsilon },u_\varepsilon ,\nabla u_\varepsilon ) = f(x,t) in \Omega _\varepsilon \times (0,T), \hfill \\ a(\tfrac{x}{\varepsilon },u_\varepsilon ,\nabla u_\varepsilon ) \cdot v_\varepsilon = 0 on \partial S_\varepsilon \times (0,T), \hfill \\ u_\varepsilon = 0 on \partial \Omega \times (0,T), \hfill \\ u_\varepsilon (x,0) = u_0 (x) in \Omega _\varepsilon \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$. Here, ΩɛSɛ is a periodically perforated domain. We obtain the homogenized equation and corrector results. The homogenization of the equations on a fixed domain was studied by the authors [15]. The homogenization for a fixed domain and$$b(\tfrac{x}{\varepsilon },u_\varepsilon ) \equiv b(u_\varepsilon )$$ has been done by Jian [11].

• On the limit matrix obtained in the homogenization of an optimal control problem

A new formulation for the limit matrix occurring in the cost functional of an optimal control problem on homogenization is obtained. It is used to obtain an upper bound for this matrix (in the sense of positive definite matrices).

• Homogenization of a parabolic equation in perforated domain with Dirichlet boundary condition

In this article, we study the homogenization of the family of parabolic equations over periodically perforated domains$$\begin{gathered} \partial _t b(\tfrac{x}{{d_\varepsilon }},u_\varepsilon ) - div a(u_\varepsilon , \nabla u_\varepsilon ) = f(x,t) in \Omega _\varepsilon x (0, T), \hfill \\ u_\varepsilon ) = 0 on \partial \Omega _\varepsilon x (0, T), \hfill \\ u_\varepsilon (x, 0) = u_0 (x) in \Omega _\varepsilon . \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$. Here, Ωɛ= ΩSε is a periodically perforated domain anddε is a sequence of positive numbers which goes to zero. We obtain the homogenized equation. The homogenization of the equations on a fixed domain and also the case of perforated domain with Neumann boundary condition was studied by the authors. The homogenization for a fixed domain and$$b(\frac{x}{{d_\varepsilon }},u_\varepsilon ) \equiv b(u_\varepsilon )$$ has been done by Jian. We also obtain certain corrector results to improve the weak convergence.
