Abstract

The asymptotic-shielding effect and the asymptotic behavior of the conductivity of a medium containing closely spaced, perfectly conducting inclusions. It is proved that in the presence of asymptotic shielding for pairs of adjacent particles, the original continuous problem can be approximated by a finite-dimensional problem.
