Type of course (Veranstaltungsart)
Seminar

German title
Homogenisierung

Contents
Homogenization is concerned with the rigorous derivation of effective macroscopic models for materials with microscturctures, for example porous media or elastic composite material. A prototype problem is the limiting behavior of an elliptic PDE with rapidly oscillating coefficients. In this seminar, we will study methods such as two-scale convergence and Gamma-convergence and apply them to different homogenization problems.
