The paper deals with the asymptotic behaviour as ε → 0 of the spectrum of the Laplace–Beltrami operator Δε on the Riemannian manifold Mε (dim Mε = N ≥ 2) depending on a small parameter ε > 0. Mε consists of two perforated domains, which are connected by an array of tubes of length qε. Each perforated domain is obtained by removing from the fixed domain Ω ⊂ ℝN the system of ε-periodically distributed balls of radius dε = ō(ε). We obtain a variety of homogenized spectral problems in Ω; their type depends on some relations between ε, dε and qε. In particular, if the limitsare positive, then the homogenized spectral problem contains the spectral parameter in a nonlinear manner, and its spectrum has a sequence of accumulation points.

We study the singularly perturbed problem —εαΔuε + uε = f (α > 0) with the Dirichlet boundary condition in a perforated domain, in which the holes are distributed periodically with period 2ε throughout a fixed domain Ω. The asymptotic behaviour of uε when ε → 0, together with corrector results and error estimates in L2(Ω), are deduced for all sizes of holes. The behaviour of uε in is obtained for the cases where the size of holes is of order ε or is of a sufficiently smaller order. When the holes' size is of a sufficiently small order, as expected, uε has similar behaviour to that in the case of a non-varying domain.

AbstractThe integralinvolves a large real parameter N and a small real parameter ∈. Its asymptotic behaviour is non-uniform when N → ∞ and ∈ → 0. Thus, when ∈ > 0 is kept fixed and N → ∞, the integral decays exponentially at a rate depending on ∈; when ∈ → 0 the integral tends towhich decays algebraically when N → ∞. It is shown that several distinct uniformly asymptotic expansions can be obtained which each involve an infinite set of functions of the combination Certain related integrals are also treated.

The spectral functionΘ(t)=∑i=1∞exp(−tλj), where{λj}j=1∞are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplace-Beltrami operator−Δ, is studied for a compact Riemannian manifoldΩof dimension “k” with a smooth boundary∂Ω, where a finite number of piecewise impedance boundary conditions(∂∂ni+γi)u=0on the parts∂Ωi(i=1,…,m)of the boundary∂Ωcan be considered, such that∂Ω=∪i=1m∂Ωi, andγi(i=1,…,m)are assumed to be smooth functions which are not strictly positive.

For each p ∈ [2, ∞)a p-harmonic map f:Mm→Nn is a critical point of the p-energy functionalwhere Mm is a compact and Nn a complete Riemannian manifold of dimensions m and n respectively. In a recent paper [3], Takeuchi has proved that for a certain class of simply-connected δ-pinched Nn and certain type of hypersurface Nn in ℝn+1, the only stable p-harmonic maps for any compact Mm are the constant maps. Our purpose in this note is to establish the following theorem which complements Takeuchi's results.

Remarks 1, 3 and 5 are incorrect as stated. They should be supplemented by the following observations:(i) In case the perturbing term is linear in y, i.e. f(t, y) = B(t)y, the conclusion of Theorem 1 will follow from Lemma 1 when applied to equation (15) if we assume, instead of (6),The hypothesis given in Trench's theorem is sufficient to imply (*) but not (6). A similar comment applies to Remark 5.

This paper deals with fracture mechanics in periodically perforated domains. Our aim is to provide a variational model for brittle porous media in the case of anti-planar elasticity. Given the perforated domain Ωε ⊂ ℝN (ε being an internal scale representing the size of the periodically distributed perforations), we will consider a total energy of the type [Formula: see text] Here u is in SBV(Ωε) (the space of special functions of bounded variation), Su is the set of discontinuities of u, which is identified with a macroscopic crack in the porous medium Ωε, and [Formula: see text] stands for the (N - 1)-Hausdorff measure of the crack Su. We study the asymptotic behavior of the functionals [Formula: see text] in terms of Γ-convergence as ε → 0. As a first (nontrivial) step we show that the domain of any limit functional is SBV(Ω) despite the degeneracies introduced by the perforations. Then we provide explicit formula for the bulk and surface energy densities of the Γ-limit, representing in our model the effective elastic and brittle properties of the porous medium, respectively.

The aim of the paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of a quasilinear elliptic equation of the form with a high-contrast discontinuous coefficient aε(x), where ε is the parameter characterizing the scale of the microstucture. The coefficient aε(x) is assumed to degenerate everywhere in the domain Ω except in a thin connected microstructure of asymptotically small measure. It is shown that the asymptotical behaviour of the solution uε as ε → 0 is described by a homogenized quasilinear equation with the coefficients calculated by local energetic characteristics of the domain Ω.

We prove existence results of two solutions of the problem \[ \begin{cases} L(u)+u^{m-1}=\lambda u^{p-1} & \text{in}\ \Omega,\\ u>0 & \text{in}\ \Omega,\\ u=0 & \text{on}\ \partial \Omega, \end{cases} \] where $L(v)=-\textrm {div}(M(x)\nabla v)$ is a linear operator, $p\in (2,2^{*}]$ and $\lambda$ and $m$ sufficiently large. Then their asymptotical limit as $m\to +\infty$ is investigated showing different behaviours.
