Abstract

In this paper we consider the homogenization problem for a nonlocal equation that involve different smooth kernels. 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 we show that there is an homogenized limit system in which the three kernels and the limit function XX appear. We deal with both Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Moreover, we also provide a probabilistic interpretation of our results.
