The heterogeneous multi-scale method (HMM) is a general strategy for dealing with problems involving multi-scales, with multi-physics, using multi-grids. It not only unifies several existing multi-scale methods, but also provide a…
This work is a follow-up to our previous work "A numerical approach related to defect-type theories for some weakly random problems in homogenization" (preprint available on this archive). It extends and complements, both theoretically and…
We consider an evolutionary problem with rapidly oscillating coefficients. This causes the problem to change frequently between a parabolic and an hyperbolic state. We prove convergence of the homogenisation process in the unit square and…
In this paper we study homogenization of a class of control problems in a stationary and ergodic random environment. This problem has been mostly studied in the calculus of variations setting in connection to the homogenization of the…
Fine-tuning in physics and cosmology is often used as evidence that a theory is incomplete. For example, the parameters of the standard model of particle physics are "unnaturally" small (in various technical senses), which has driven much…
When a fluid carrying a passive solute flows quickly through porous media, three key macroscale transport mechanisms occur. These mechanisms are diffusion, advection and dispersion, all of which depend on the microstructure of the porous…
We study homogenization of a locally periodic two-scale dual-continuum system where each continuum interacts with the other. Equations for each continuum are written separately with interaction terms (exchange terms) added. The…

We consider the homogenization problem for the stochastic porous-medium type equation $\p_{t} u^\epsilon =\Delta f\left(T\left(\frac{x}{\ep}\right)\om,u^\ep\right)$, with a well-prepared initial datum, where $f(T(y)\om,u)$ is a stationary…
Computational modelling of diffusion in heterogeneous media is prohibitively expensive for problems with fine-scale heterogeneities. A common strategy for resolving this issue is to decompose the domain into a number of non-overlapping…
This article studies the homogenization of hyperbolic-parabolic equations in porous media with tiny holes. We assume that the holes are periodically distributed and that the coefficients of the equations are periodic. Using the multi-scale…
In this paper we study the homogenization of a class of energies concentrated on lines. In dimension $2$ (i.e., in codimension $1$) the problem reduces to the homogenization of partition energies studied by \cite{AB}. There, the key tool is…

We study the homogenization of the Poisson equation in randomly perforated domains and obtain the strange term effect in the homogenized equation. The perforations are modeled by rescaled germ-grain processes, and the main assumption is…
Microheterogeneity, as a fundamental natural property, is widely presented in a range of microscopic systems such as polymer systems, biomacromolecular systems, and nanosystems, however, the construction of molecular systems of this form…
The technique of periodic homogenization with two-scale convergence is applied to the analysis of a two-phase Stefan-type problem that arises in the study of a periodic array of melting ice bars. For this "reduced model" we prove results on…
Numerical homogenization, i.e. the finite-dimensional approximation of solution spaces of PDEs with arbitrary rough coefficients, requires the identification of accurate basis elements. These basis elements are oftentimes found after a…
Numerical homogenization of multiscale equations typically requires taking an average of the solution to a microscale problem. Both the boundary conditions and domain size of the microscale problem play an important role in the accuracy of…

We prove the two-scale transformation method which allows rigorous homogenisation of problems defined on locally periodic domains by transformation on periodic domains. The idea to consider periodic substitute problems was originally…
