In L2(ℝd; ℂn), we consider a wide class of matrix elliptic second order differential operators $𝒜$ε with rapidly oscillating coefficients (depending on x/ε). For a fixed τ > 0 and small ε > 0, we find approximation of the operator exponential exp(− $𝒜$ετ) in the (L2(ℝd; ℂn) → H1(ℝd; ℂn))-operator norm with an error term of order ε. In this approximation, the corrector is taken...

In this paper we study homogenization for a class of monotone systems of first-order time-dependent periodic Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We characterize the Hamiltonians of the limit problem by appropriate cell problems. Hence we show the uniform convergence of the solution of the oscillating systems to the bounded uniformly continuous solution of the homogenized system.

We prove short time existence for the Ricci flow on open manifolds of non-negative complex sectional curvature without requiring upper curvature bounds. By considering the doubling of convex sets contained in a Cheeger–Gromoll convex exhaustion and solving the singular initial value problem for the Ricci flow on these closed manifolds, we obtain a sequence of closed solutions of the Ricci flow with non-negative complex sectional curvature which subconverge to a Ricci flow on the open manifold. Furthermore,...
