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
