Abstract

We consider the problem of homogenization for non-self-adjoint second-order elliptic differential operators~Aε of divergence form on L2(ℝ^d1×\mathbbT^d2), where d1 is positive and~d2 is non-negative. The~coefficients of the operator~Aε are periodic in the first variable with period~ε and smooth in a certain sense in the second. We show that, as ε gets small, (Aε-μ)-1 and~D_x2(Aε-μ)-1 converge in the operator norm to, respectively, (A0-μ)-1 and~D_x2(A0-μ)-1, where A0 is an operator whose coefficients depend only on~x2. We also obtain an approximation for D_x1(Aε-μ)-1 and find the next term in the approximation for~(Aε-μ)-1. Estimates for the rates of convergence and the rates of approximation are provided and are sharp with respect to the order.
