Asymptotic analysis of sign-changing transmission problems with rapidly oscillating interface

Renata Bunoiu, Karim Ramdani, Claudia Timofte

Abstract:
We study the asymptotic behavior of a sign-changing transmission problem, stated in a symmetric oscillating domain obtained by gluing together a positive and a negative material, separated by an imperfect and rapidly oscillating interface. The interface separating the two heterogeneous materials has a periodic microstructure and is a small perturbation of a flat interface. The solution of the transmission problem is continuous and its flux has a jump on the oscillating interface. Under certain conditions on the properties of the two materials, we derive the limit problem and we prove the convergence result. The T-coercivity method is used to handle the lack of coercivity for both the microscopic and the macroscopic limit problems.
