Approximate Correctors and Convergence Rates in Almost-Periodic Homogenization

Analysis of PDEs 2016-03-17 v2

Abstract

We carry out a comprehensive study of quantitative homogenization of second-order elliptic systems with bounded measurable coefficients that are almost-periodic in the sense of H. Weyl. We obtain uniform local L2L^2 estimates for the approximate correctors in terms of a function that quantifies the almost-periodicity of the coefficient matrix. We give a condition that implies the existence of (true) correctors. These estimates as well as similar estimates for the dual approximate correctors yield optimal or near optimal convergence rates in H1H^1 and L2L^2.The L2L^2-based H\"older and Lipschitz estimates at large scale are also established.
