Abstract

This paper deals with the homogenization of the reaction-diffusion equations in a domain containing periodically distributed holes of size ε\varepsilon, with a dynamical boundary condition of reactive-diffusive type, i.e., we consider the following nonlinear boundary condition on the surface of the holes uεν+εuεt=εδΔΓuεεg(uε), \nabla u_\varepsilon \cdot \nu+\varepsilon\,\displaystyle\frac{\partial u_\varepsilon}{\partial t}=\varepsilon\,\delta \Delta_{\Gamma}u_\varepsilon-\varepsilon\,g(u_\varepsilon), where ΔΓ\Delta_{\Gamma} denotes the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the surface of the holes, ν\nu is the outward normal to the boundary, δ>0\delta>0 plays the role of a surface diffusion coefficient and gg is the nonlinear term. We generalize our previous results established in the case of a dynamical boundary condition of pure-reactive type, i.e., with δ=0\delta=0. We prove the convergence of the homogenization process to a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation whose diffusion matrix takes into account the reactive-diffusive condition on the surface of the holes.
