Download or read book Getting Acquainted with Homogenization and Multiscale written by Leonid Berlyand and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this book is to navigate beginning graduate students in mathematics and engineering through a mature field of multiscale problems in homogenization theory and to provide an idea of its broad scope. An overview of a wide spectrum of homogenization techniques ranging from classical two-scale asymptotic expansions to Gamma convergence and the rapidly developing field of stochastic homogenization is presented. The mathematical proofs and definitions are supplemented with intuitive explanations and figures to make them easier to follow. A blend of mathematics and examples from materials science and engineering is designed to teach a mixed audience of mathematical and non-mathematical students.
