HOMOGENIZATION OF A NONLINEAR MONOTONE PROBLEM IN AN ANISOTROPIC MEDIUM
Ali Sili · Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences · 2004
This paper deals with an analysis of a nonlinear monotone conduction problem posed on a medium which we assume to be anisotropic and periodically reinforced by thin fibers also assumed to be anisotropic. We consider the case where the conductivity in the fibers are more important than in the material which surrounds it so that the operator we have to consider loses his uniform ellipticity with respect to the size ε of the period; we then investigate the effect of the anisotropy in the homogenization process.
