Abstract

A boundary value problem of mixed type for the Laplace equation is considered. The boundary values are prescribed on the surfaces of n randomly distributed obstacles of linear size n -1. For n→∞, the effective limit equation is characterized and the fluctuations around the limit are explicitly computed.
