Abstract

We study the homogenization problem for matrix strongly elliptic operators on L2(Rd)nL_2(\mathbb R^d)^n of the form Aε=divA(x,x/ε)\mathcal A^\varepsilon=-\operatorname{div}A(x,x/\varepsilon)\nabla. The function AA is Lipschitz in the first variable and periodic in the second. We do not require that A=AA^*=A, so Aε\mathcal A^\varepsilon need not be self-adjoint. In this paper, we provide, for small ε\varepsilon, two terms in the uniform approximation for (Aεμ)1(\mathcal A^\varepsilon-\mu)^{-1} and a first term in the uniform approximation for (Aεμ)1\nabla(\mathcal A^\varepsilon-\mu)^{-1}. Primary attention is paid to proving sharp-order bounds on the errors of the approximations.
