Abstract

Let be a bounded C 1,1 domain. In we consider strongly elliptic operators A D,ɛ and A N,ɛ given by the differential expression b(D)*g(x/ɛ)b(D), ɛ > 0, with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, respectively. Here g(x) is a bounded positive definite matrix-valued function assumed to be periodic with respect to some lattice and b(D) is a first-order differential operator. We find approximations of the operators exp(−A D,ɛ t) and exp(−A N,ɛ t) for fixed t > 0 and small ɛ in the L 2L 2 and L 2H 1 operator norms with error estimates depending on ɛ and t. The results are applied to homogenize the solutions of initial boundary value problems for parabolic systems.
