Abstract

We consider the homogenization problem for the stochastic porous-medium type equation \ptuϵ=Δf(T(x\ep)\om,u\ep)\p_{t} u^\epsilon =\Delta f\left(T\left(\frac{x}{\ep}\right)\om,u^\ep\right), with a well-prepared initial datum, where f(T(y)\om,u)f(T(y)\om,u) is a stationary process, increasing in uu, on a given probability space (\Om,F,μ)(\Om, \mathcal{F}, \mu) endowed with an ergodic dynamical system {T(y):yRN}\{T(y)\,:\,y\in\R^N\}. Differently from the previous literature \cite{afs,fs}, here we do not assume \Om\Om compact. We first show that the weak solution u\epu^\ep satisfies a kinetic formulation of the equation, then we exploit the theory of "stochastically two-scale convergence in the mean" developed in \cite{bmw} to show convergence of the kinetic solution to the kinetic solution of an homogenized problem of the form \ptuΔf(u)=0\p_{t} \overline{u} - \Delta \overline{f}(\overline{u})=0. The homogenization result for the weak solutions then follows.
