    Abstract:
    Many physical phenomena are described by partial differential equations which include different scales, one global scale and some local scales. The homogenization theory is a very powerful tool ...

    We discuss homogenization for stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) of Zakai type with periodic coefficients appearing typically in nonlinear filtering problems. We prove such homogenization by two different approaches. One is rather analytic and the other is comparatively probabilistic.

    We present an introduction to periodic and stochastic homogenization of elliptic partial differential equations. The first part is concerned with the qualitative theory, which we present for equations with periodic and random coefficients in a unified approach based on Tartar's method of oscillating test functions. In particular, we present a self-contained and elementary argument for the construction of the sublinear corrector of stochastic homogenization. (The argument also applies to elliptic systems and in particular to linear elasticity). In the second part we briefly discuss the representation of the homogenization error by means of a two-scale expansion. In the last part we discuss some results of quantitative stochastic homogenization in a discrete setting. In particular, we discuss the quantification of ergodicity via concentration inequalities, and we illustrate that the latter in combination with elliptic regularity theory leads to a quantification of the growth of the sublinear corrector and the homogenization error.

    Many physical systems involving nonlinear wave propagation include the effects of dispersion, dissipation, and/or the inhomogeneous property of the medium. The governing equations are usually derived from conservation laws. In simple cases, these equations are hyperbolic. However, in general, the physical processes involved are so complex that the governing equations are very complicated, and hence, are not integrable by analytic methods. So, special attention is given to seeking mathematical methods which lead to a less complicated problem, yet retain all of the important physical features. In recent years, several asymptotic methods have been developed for the derivation of the evolution equations which describe how some dynamical variables evolve in time and space.

    In this note we treat the equations of fractional elasticity. After establishing well-posedness, we show a compactness result related to the theory of homogenization. For this, a previous result in (abstract) homogenization theory of evolutionary equations has to be improved. The approach also permits the consideration of non-local operators (in time and space).

    In this paper we establish a simplified model ofgeneral spatially periodic linear electronic analog networks. It has atwo-scale structure. At the macro level it is an algebro-differentialequation and a circuit equation at the micro level. Its construction isbased on the concept of two-scale convergence, introduced by the author inthe framework of partial differential equations, adapted to vectors andmatrices. Simple illustrative examples are detailed by hand calculation anda numerical simulation is reported.
