This note gives a brief and `crash' introduction to the method of Homogenization with the use of wave equation and diffusion equation with periodic in space coefficients as instructive examples. We expose the method with the use of an…
We overview a series of recent works devoted to variance reduction techniques for numerical stochastic homogenization. Numerical homogenization requires solving a set of problems at the micro scale, the so-called corrector problems. In a…
We study a homogenisation problem for problems of mixed type in the framework of evolutionary equations. The change of type is highly oscillatory. The numerical treatment is done by a discontinuous Galerkin method in time and a continuous…
In this paper, we provide an analysis of a recently proposed multicontinuum homogenization technique. The analysis differs from those used in classical homogenization methods for several reasons. First, the cell problems in multicontinuum…
In this paper we prove a general homogenization result for monotone parabolic problems with an arbitrary number of microscopic scales in space as well as in time, where the scale functions are not necessarily powers of epsilon. The main…

The article studies the reiterated homogenization of linear elliptic variational inequalities arising in problems with unilateral constrains. We assume that the coefficients of the equations satisfy and abstract hypothesis covering on each…
The work is about homogenization for a type of multivalued Dirichlet-Neumann problems. First, we prove an average principle for general multivalued stochastic differential equations in the weak sense. Then for general forward-backward…
The "variance method" has been used to prove many classical inequalities in design theory and coding theory. The purpose of this expository note is to review and present some of these inequalities in a unified setting. I will also discuss…
We introduce variational methods for finding approximate eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of quantum Hamiltonians by constructing a set of orthogonal wave functions which approximately solve the eigenvalue equation.
This is a survey of recent and classical results concerning various types of homogeneity, such as n-homogeneity, discrete homogeneity, and countable dense homogeneity. Some new results are also presented, and several problems are posed.
We propose continuum percolation theory to study homogenization problems of elliptic equations.Our aim is to improve and extend similar results that have been obtained for periodic domains using modeling for non-periodic domains with…
In this work, we characterize the existence of solution for a certain variational inequality by means of a classical minimax theorem. In addition, we propose a numerical algorithm for the solution of an inverse problem associated with a…
In this paper we discuss a recent application of a variational homotopy perturbation method to rather simple nonlinear oscillators . We show that the main equations are inconsistent and for that reason the results may be of scarce utility.
In this paper we study homogenization for a class of monotone systems of first-order time-dependent periodic Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We characterize the Hamiltonians of the limit problem by appropriate cell problems. Hence we show the…
Regularization methods are a key tool in the solution of inverse problems. They are used to introduce prior knowledge and make the approximation of ill-posed (pseudo-)inverses feasible. In the last two decades interest has shifted from…
It is shown how to extend the formal variational calculus in order to incorporate integrals of divergences into it. Such a generalization permits to study nontrivial boundary problems in field theory on the base of canonical formalism.
We use the theory of selfdual Lagrangians to give a variational approach to the homogenization of equations in divergence form, that are driven by a periodic family of maximal monotone vector fields. The approach has the advantage of using…
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…
We discuss the use of inequalities to obtain the solution of certain variational problems on time scales.
