Abstract

We consider the problem of homogenization for non-self-adjoint second-order elliptic differential operators~Aε\mathcal{A}^{\varepsilon} of divergence form on L2(Rd1×Td2)L_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d_{1}}\times\mathbb{T}^{d_{2}}), where d1d_{1} is positive and~d2d_{2} is non-negative. The~coefficients of the operator~Aε\mathcal{A}^{\varepsilon} are periodic in the first variable with period~ε\varepsilon and smooth in a certain sense in the second. We show that, as ε\varepsilon gets small, (Aεμ)1(\mathcal{A}^{\varepsilon}-\mu)^{-1} and~Dx2(Aεμ)1D_{x_{2}}(\mathcal{A}^{\varepsilon}-\mu)^{-1} converge in the operator norm to, respectively, (A0μ)1(\mathcal{A}^{0}-\mu)^{-1} and~Dx2(A0μ)1D_{x_{2}}(\mathcal{A}^{0}-\mu)^{-1}, where A0\mathcal{A}^{0} is an operator whose coefficients depend only on~x2x_{2}. We also obtain an approximation for Dx1(Aεμ)1D_{x_{1}}(\mathcal{A}^{\varepsilon}-\mu)^{-1} and find the next term in the approximation for~(Aεμ)1(\mathcal{A}^{\varepsilon}-\mu)^{-1}. Estimates for the rates of convergence and the rates of approximation are provided and are sharp with respect to the order.
