Asymptotic and numerical homogenization

Homogenization is an important mathematical framework for developing effective models of differential equations with oscillations. We include in the presentation techniques for deriving effective equations, a brief discussion on analysis of related limit processes and numerical methods that are based on homogenization principles. We concentrate on first- and second-order partial differential equations and present results concerning both periodic and random media for linear as well as nonlinear problems. In the numerical sections, we comment on computations of multi-scale problems in general and then focus on projection-based numerical homogenization and the heterogeneous multi-scale method.
