Abstract:
We study the homogenization of a nonlinear problem given by the Poisson
equation, in a domain with arbitrarily shaped perforations (or particles)
and with a dynamic unilateral boundary condition (of Signorini type), with a
large coefficient, on the boundary of these perforations (or particles). This
problem arises in the study of chemical reactions of zero order.
The consideration of a possible asymmetry in the perforations (or
particles) is fundamental for considering some applications in
nanotechnology, where symmetry conditions are too restrictive.
It is important also to consider perforations (or particles) constituted by
small different parts and then with several connected components.
We are specially concerned with the so-called critical case in
which the relation between the coefficient in the boundary condition, the
period of the basic structure, and the size of the holes (or particles)
leads to the appearance of an unexpected new term in the effective
homogenized equation. Because of the dynamic nature of the boundary condition
this "strange term" becomes now a non-local in time and non-linear operator.
We prove a convergence theorem and find several properties of the "strange operator"
showing that there is a kind of regularization through the homogenization process.
