Homogenization of quasi-crystalline functionals via two-scale-cut-and-project convergence
Abstract
We consider a homogenization problem associated with quasi-crystalline multiple integrals of the form \begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} u_\varepsilon\in L^p(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^d) \mapsto \int_\Omega f_R\Big(x,\frac{x}{\varepsilon}, u_\varepsilon(x)\Big)\, dx, \end{aligned} \end{equation*} where is subject to constant-coefficient linear partial differential constraints. The quasi-crystalline structure of the underlying composite is encoded in the dependence on the second variable of the Lagrangian, , and is modeled via the cut-and-project scheme that interprets the heterogeneous microstructure to be homogenized as an irrational subspace of a higher-dimensional space. A key step in our analysis is the characterization of the quasi-crystalline two-scale limits of sequences of the vector fields that are in the kernel of a given constant-coefficient linear partial differential operator, , that is, . Our results provide a generalization of related ones in the literature concerning the case to more general differential operators with constant coefficients, and without coercivity assumptions on the Lagrangian .
