We introduce an approach to study homogenisation of a large class of singular SPDEs of the form $$ \partial_t u_\varepsilon - \nabla\cdot {A}(x/\varepsilon,t/\varepsilon^2) \nabla u_\varepsilon = F(x/\varepsilon , t/\varepsilon^2,…
We show that locally bounded solutions of the inhomogeneous porous medium equation $$u_{t} - {\rm div} \left( m |u|^{m-1} \nabla u \right) = f \in L^{q,r}, \quad m >1 ,$$ are locally H\"older continuous, with exponent $$\gamma =\min \left\{…

In this paper, we show that the concept of sigma-convergence associated to stochastic processes can tackle the homogenization of stochastic partial differential equations. In this regard, the homogenization problem for a stochastic…

We consider the variant of stochastic homogenization theory introduced in [X. Blanc, C. Le Bris and P.-L. Lions, C. R. Acad. Sci. Serie I 2006 and Journal de Mathematiques Pures et Appliquees 2007]. The equation under consideration is a…
In this paper we employ homogenization techniques to provide a rigorous derivation of the Darcy scale model for precipitation and dissolution in porous media proposed in [19]. The starting point is the pore scale model in [12], which is a…
We consider homogenization problems in the framework of deterministic optimal control when the dynamics and running costs are completely different in two (or more) complementary domains of the space $\R^N$. For such optimal control…
Over the last few decades, phase-field equations have found increasing applicability in a wide range of mathematical-scientific fields (e.g. geometric PDEs and mean curvature flow, materials science for the study of phase transitions) but…
The focus of our work is dispersive, second-order effective model describing the low-frequency wave motion in heterogeneous (e.g.~functionally-graded) media endowed with periodic microstructure. For this class of quasi-periodic medium…
High order methods have shown great potential to overcome performance issues of simulations of partial differential equations (PDEs) on modern hardware, still many users stick to low-order, matrix-based simulations, in particular in porous…

This paper describes several different formulations of the so-called "cellular problem" which is a system of partial differential equations arising in the theory of homogenization, subject to periodicity boundary conditions. Variational…
We consider a thin heterogeneous layer consisted of the thin beams (of radius $r$) and we study the limit behaviour of this problem as the periodicity $\varepsilon$, the thickness $\delta$ and the radius $r$ of the beams tend to zero. The…
We do the exercise of thinking the qualitative features of a new model in which the problems of Dark Matter (DM) and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) homogeneity are apparently simultaneously solved. We consider that DM consists of…
We study solutions of a Euclidean weighted porous medium equation when the weight behaves at spacial infinity like $|x|^{-\gamma}$, for $\gamma\in [0,2)$, and is allowed to be singular at the origin. In particular we show local-in-time…
We consider a chemotaxis-fluid system involving nonlinear cell diffusion of porous medium type, signal consumption by cells, and rather general, possibly matrix-valued, chemotactic sensitivities. It is shown that if the corresponding…
