Abstract

We study homogenization of a boundary obstacle problem on C1,α C^{1,\alpha} domain DD for some elliptic equations with uniformly elliptic coefficient matrices γ\gamma. For any ϵR+ \epsilon\in\mathbb{R}_+, D=ΓΣ\partial D=\Gamma \cup \Sigma, ΓΣ=\Gamma \cap \Sigma=\emptyset and SϵΣ S_{\epsilon}\subset \Sigma with suitable assumptions,\ we prove that as ϵ\epsilon tends to zero, the energy minimizer uϵ u^{\epsilon} of Dγu2dx \int_{D} |\gamma\nabla u|^{2} dx , subject to uφ u\geq \varphi on Sε S_{\varepsilon} , up to a subsequence, converges weakly in H1(D) H^{1}(D) to u~ \widetilde{u} which minimizes the energy functional Dγu2+Σ(uφ)2μ(x)dSx\int_{D}|\gamma\nabla u|^{2}+\int_{\Sigma} (u-\varphi)^{2}_{-}\mu(x) dS_{x}, where μ(x)\mu(x) depends on the structure of SϵS_{\epsilon} and φ \varphi is any given function in C(D)C^{\infty}(\overline{D}).
