Abstract

In this paper we consider the homogenization of the evolution problem associated with a jump process that involves three different smooth kernels that govern the jumps to/from different parts of the domain. We assume that the spacial domain is divided into a sequence of two subdomains AnBnA_n \cup B_n and we have three different smooth kernels, one that controls the jumps from AnA_n to AnA_n, a second one that controls the jumps from BnB_n to BnB_n and the third one that governs the interactions between AnA_n and BnB_n.Assuming that χAn(x)X(x)\chi_{A_n} (x) \to X(x) weakly in LL^\infty (and then χBn(x)1X(x)\chi_{B_n} (x) \to 1-X(x) weakly in LL^\infty) as nn \to \infty and that the initial condition is given by a density u0u_0 in L2L^2 we show that there is an homogenized limit system in which the three kernels and the limit function XX appear. When the initial condition is a delta at one point, δxˉ\delta_{\bar{x}} (this corresponds to the process that starts at xˉ\bar{x}) we show that there is convergence along subsequences such that xˉAnj\bar{x} \in A_{n_j} or xˉBnj\bar{x} \in B_{n_j} for every njn_j large enough. We also provide a probabilistic interpretation of this evolution equation in terms of a stochastic process that describes the movement of a particle that jumps in Ω\Omega according to the three different kernels and show that the underlying process converges in distribution to a limit process associated with the limit equation. We focus our analysis in Neumann type boundary conditions and briefly describe at the end how to deal with Dirichlet boundary conditions.
