Homogenization in the energy variable for a neutron transport model

Analysis of PDEs 2019-06-04 v2

Abstract

This article addresses the homogenization of linear Boltzmann equation when the optical parameters are highly heterogeneous in the energy variable. We employ the method of two-scale convergence to arrive at the homogenization result. In doing so, we show the induction of a memory effect in the homogenization limit. We also provide some numerical experiments to illustrate our results. In the Appendix, we treat a related case of the harmonic oscillator.
