Uniform convergence and asymptotics for problems in domains finely perforated along a prescribed manifold in the case of the homogenized Dirichlet condition

A boundary value problem for a second-order elliptic equation with variable coefficients is considered in a multidimensional domain which is perforated by small holes along a prescribed manifold. Minimal natural conditions are imposed on the holes. In particular, all of these are assumed to be of approximately the same size and have a prescribed minimal distance to neighbouring holes, which is also a small parameter. The shape of the holes and their distribution along the manifold are arbitrary. The holes are divided between two sets in an arbitrary way. The Dirichlet condition is imposed on the boundaries of holes in the first set and a nonlinear Robin boundary condition is imposed on the boundaries of holes in the second. The sizes and distribution of holes with the Dirichlet condition satisfy a simple and easily verifiable condition which ensures that these holes disappear after homogenization and a Dirichlet condition on the manifold in question arises instead. We prove that the solution of the perturbed problem converges to the solution of the homogenized one in the -norm uniformly with respect to the right-hand side of the equation, and an estimate for the rate of convergence that is sharp in order is deduced. The full asymptotic solution of the perturbed problem is also constructed in the case when the holes form a periodic set arranged along a prescribed hyperplane. Bibliography: 32 titles.
