Homogenization Theory (PDE III)
Semester
SoSe 2026

Lecturer
Michael Eden

Type of course (Veranstaltungsart)
Vorlesung

German title
Homogenisierung (PDG III)

Contents
The goal of homogenization theory is to rigorously find and justify effective mathematical models
that capture the limiting behavior of complex systems with fine-scale heterogeneity. Examples are
the flow of fluids through porous media and the heat conductivity of composite materials. Planned
contents include: - Asymptotic Expansion - Two-scale convergence/Periodic unfolding - Perforated
domains: Extension operators - Flow through porous and/or fractured media: Dary's law and Brinkmann
equation - Gamma-convergence - Shape optimization/inverse homogenization - Monotone operators

Recommended previous knowledge
Knowledge of the material covered in the courses Analysis, Linear Algebra, and Functional Analysis
is assumed. Prior attendance of Partial Differential Equations I and II is helpful but not
required; the relevant concepts and results will be briefly reviewed.
