Homogenization of the Maxwell equations: Case I. Linear theory

Niklas Wellander (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

The Maxwell equations in a heterogeneous medium are studied. Nguetseng’s method of two-scale convergence is applied to homogenize and prove corrector results for the Maxwell equations with inhomogeneous initial conditions. Compactness results, of two-scale type, needed for the homogenization of the Maxwell equations are proved.

Homogenization of the Maxwell Equations: Case II. Nonlinear conductivity

Niklas Wellander (2002)

Applications of Mathematics

The Maxwell equations with uniformly monotone nonlinear electric conductivity in a heterogeneous medium, which may be non-periodic, are homogenized by two-scale convergence. We introduce a new set of function spaces appropriate for the nonlinear Maxwell system. New compactness results, of two-scale type, are proved for these function spaces. We prove existence of a unique solution for the heterogeneous system as well as for the homogenized system. We also prove that the solutions of the heterogeneous...
