Asymptotic decomposition of solutions to parabolic equations with a random microstructure

We consider a Cauchy problem for a divergence form second order parabolic operator with rapidly oscillating coefficients that are periodic in spatial variables and random stationary ergodic in time. As was already proved, in this case the homogenized operator is deterministic. We obtain the leading terms of the asymptotic expansion of the solution, these terms being deterministic functions, and show that a properly renormalized difference between the solution and the said leading terms converges to a solution of some SPDE.

Homogenization of Lévy-type operators: operator estimates with correctors

The goal of the paper is to study in $L_2(\R^d)$ a self-adjoint operator ${\mathbb A}_\eps$, $\eps >0$, of the form $$ ({\mathbb A}_\eps u) (\x) = \int_{\R^d} μ(\x/\eps, \y/\eps) \frac{\left( u(\x) - u(\y) \right)}{|\x - \y|^{d+α}}\,d\y $$ with $1< α< 2$; here the function $μ(\x,\y)$ is $\Z^d$-periodic in the both variables, satisfies the symmetry relation $μ(\x,\y) = μ(\y,\x)$ and the estimates $0< μ_- \leqslant μ(\x,\y) \leqslant μ_+< \infty$. The rigorous definition of the operator ${\mathbb A}_\eps$ is given in terms of the corresponding quadratic form. In the previous work of the authors it was shown that the resolvent $({\mathbb A}_\eps + I)^{-1}$ converges, as $\eps\to0$, in the operator norm in $L_2(\mathbb R^d)$ to the resolvent of the effective operator $A^0$, and the estimate $\|({\mathbb A}_\eps + I)^{-1} - (\A^0 + I)^{-1} \| = O(\eps^{2-α})$ holds. In the present work we achieve a more accurate approximation of the resolvent of ${\mathbb A}_\eps$ which takes into account the correctors. Namely, for $N\in\mathbb N$ such that $2-1/N < α\le 2-1/(N+1)$, we obtain $$ \bigl\|({\mathbb A}_\eps + I)^{-1} - (\A^0 + I)^{-1} - \sum_{m=1}^N \eps^{m(2-α)} \mathbb{K}_m \bigr\| = O(\eps). $$

Nonlocal convolution type functionals and related Orlicz spaces

In the paper we introduce Orlicz type functional spaces defined in terms of nonlocal convolution type integral functionals and study the main properties of these spaces. We show in particular that, under natural convexity and growth conditions on the integrand, the corresponding spaces are Banach and separable. We also characterize the dual spaces and provide a number of examples.

Homogenization of nonlocal equations in randomly evolving media. Diffusion approximation

The paper deals with homogenization and higher order approximations of solutions to nonlocal evolution equations of convolution type whose coefficients are periodic in the spatial variables and random stationary in time. We assume that the convolution kernel has finite moments up to order three. Under proper mixing assumptions, we study the limit behavior of the normalized difference between solutions of the original and the homogenized problems and show that this difference converges to the solution of a linear stochastic partial differential equation.

Homogenisation and spectral convergence of high-contrast convolution type operators

The paper deals with homogenisation problems for high-contrast symmetric convolution-type operators with integrable kernels in media with a periodic microstructure. We adapt the two-scale convergence method to nonlocal convolution-type operators and obtain the homogenisation result both for problems stated in the whole space and in bounded domains with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. Our main focus is on spectral analysis. We describe the spectrum of the limit two-scale operator and characterize the limit behaviour of the spectrum of the original problem as the microstructure period tends to zero. It is shown that the spectrum of the limit operator is a subset the limit of the spectrum of the original operator, and that they need not coincide.

Homogenization of non-symmetric convolution type operators

The paper studies homogenization problem for a bounded in $L_2(\mathbb R^d)$ convolution type operator ${\mathbb A}_\eps$, $\eps >0$, of the form $$ ({\mathbb A}_\eps u) (\x) = \eps^{-d-2} \int_{\R^d} a((\x-\y)/\eps) μ(\x/\eps, \y/\eps) \left( u(\x) - u(\y) \right)\,d\y. $$ It is assumed that $a(\x)$ is a non-negative function from $L_1(\R^d)$, and $μ(\x,\y)$ is a periodic in $\x$ and $\y$ function such that $0< μ_- \leqslant μ(\x,\y) \leqslant μ_+< \infty$. No symmetry assumption on $a(\cdot)$ and $μ(\cdot)$ is imposed, so the operator ${\mathbb A}_\eps$ need not be self-adjoint. Under the assumption that the moments $M_k = \int_{\R^d} |\x|^k a(\x)\,d\x$, $k=1,2,3$, are finite we obtain, for small $\eps>0$, sharp in order approximation of the resolvent $({\mathbb A}_\eps + I)^{-1}$ in the operator norm in $L_2(\mathbb R^d)$, the discrepancy being of order $O(\eps)$. The approximation is given by an operator of the form $({\mathbb A}^0 + \eps^{-1} \langle \boldsymbolα,\nabla \rangle + I)^{-1}$ multiplied on the right by a periodic function $q_0(\x/\eps)$; here ${\mathbb A}^0 = - \operatorname{div}g^0 \nabla$ is the effective operator, and $\boldsymbolα$ is a constant vector.

Homogenization of parabolic problems for non-local convolution type operators under non-diffusive scaling of coefficients

We study homogenization problem for non-autonomous parabolic equations of the form $\partial_t u=L(t)u$ with an integral convolution type operator $L(t)$ that has a non-symmetric jump kernel which is periodic in spatial variables and in time. It is assumed that the space-time scaling of the environment is not diffusive. We show that asymptotically the spatial and temporal evolutions of the solutions are getting decoupled, and the homogenization result holds in a moving frame.

Periodic homogenization of convolution type operators with heavy tails

The paper deals with periodic homogenization of nonlocal symmetric convolution type operators in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$, whose kernel is the product of a density that belongs to the domain of attraction of an $α$-stable law and a rapidly oscillating positive periodic function. Assuming that the local oscillation of the said density satisfies a proper upper bound at infinity, we prove homogenization result for the studied family of operators.

Homogenization of quadratic convolution energies in periodically perforated domains

We prove a homogenization theorem for quadratic convolution energies defined in perforated domains. The corresponding limit is a Dirichlet-type quadratic energy, whose integrand is defined by a non-local cell-problem formula. The proof relies on an extension theorem from perforated domains belonging to a wide class containing compact periodic perforations.

Operator estimates in homogenization of Lévy-type operators with periodic coefficients

The paper deals with homogenization of self-adjoint operators in $L_2(\mathbb R^d)$ of the form $$ ({\mathbb A}_\eps u) (\x) = \int_{\R^d} μ(\x/\eps, \y/\eps) \frac{\left( u(\x) - u(\y) \right)}{|\x - \y|^{d+α}}\,d\y, $$ where $0< α< 2$, and $\eps>0$ is a small parameter. It is assumed that the function $μ(\x,\y)$ is $\Z^d$-periodic in each variable, $μ(\x,\y)=μ(\y,\x)$ for all $\x$ and $\y$, and $0< μ_- \leqslant μ(\x,\y) \leqslant μ_+< \infty$. Under these assumptions we show that the resolvent $({\mathbb A}_\eps + I)^{-1}$ converges, as $\eps\to0$, in the operator norm in $L_2(\R^d)$ to the resolvent $({\mathbb A}^0 + I)^{-1}$ of the limit operator ${\mathbb A}^0$ given by $$ ({\mathbb A}^0 u) (\x) = \int_{\R^d} μ^0 \frac{\left( u(\x) - u(\y) \right)}{|\x - \y|^{d+α}}\,d\y, $$ where $μ^0$ is the mean value of $μ(\x,\y)$. We also show that the operator norm of the discrepancy $\|({\mathbb A}_\eps + I)^{-1} - (\A^0 + I)^{-1}\|_{L_2(\mathbb R^d)\to L_2(\mathbb R^d)}$ can be estimated by $O(\eps^α)$, if $0< α< 1$, by $O(\eps (1 + | \operatorname{ln} \eps|)^2)$, if $ α=1$, and by $O(\eps^{2- α})$, if $1< α< 2$.

Averaging for stochastic perturbations of integrable systems

We are concerned with averaging theorems for $ε$-small stochastic perturbations of integrable equations in $\mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{T}^n =\{(I,φ)\}$ $$ \dot I(t) =0,\quad \dot φ(t) = θ(I), \qquad (1)$$ and in $\mathbb{R}^{2n} = \{v=(\mathbf{v}_1, \dots, \mathbf{v}_n), \; \mathbf{v}_j \in \mathbb{R}^2\}$, $$ \dot{\mathbf{v}}_k(t) =W_k(I) \mathbf{v}_k^\bot, \quad k=1, \dots, n, \qquad (2) $$ where $I=(I_1, \dots, I_n)$ is the vector of actions, $I_j = \frac12 \| \mathbf{v}_j\|^2$. The vector-functions $θ$ and $W$ are locally Lipschitz and non-degenerate. Perturbations of these equations are assumed to be locally Lipschitz and such that some few first moments of the norms of their solutions are bounded uniformly in $ε$, for $0\le t\le ε^{-1} T$. For $I$-components of solutions for perturbations of (1) we establish their convergence in law to solutions of the corresponding averaged $I$-equations, when $0\le τ:= εt\le T$ and $ε\to0$. Then we show that if the system of averaged $I$-equations is mixing, then the convergence is uniform in the slow time $τ=εt\ge0$. Next using these results, for $ε$-perturbed equations of (2) we construct well posed {\it effective stochastic equations} for $v(τ)\in \mathbb{R}^{2n}$ (independent from $ε$) such that when $ε\to0$, actions of solutions of the perturbed equations of (2) with $t:= τ/ε$ converge in distribution to actions of solutions for the effective equations. Again, if the effective system is mixing, this convergence is uniform in the slow time $τ\ge0$. We provide easy sufficient conditions on the perturbed equations which ensure that our results apply to their solutions.

High-contrast periodic random jumps in continuum and limit Markov process

The paper deals with the asymptotic properties of a random jump process in a high contrast periodic medium in $\mathbb R^d$, $d\geq 1$. We show that if the coordinates of the random jump process in $\mathbb R^d$ are equipped with an extra variable that characterizes the position of the process inside the period, then the limit dynamics of this two-component process is Markov. We describe the limit process and prove the convergence in law in the path space. We show that the components of the limit process are coupled and derive the evolution equation with a memory term for the spatial component of the process. We also discuss the construction of the limit process in the $L^2$ space and study the spectrum of the generator of the limit semigroup.

Homogenization of nonlocal spectral problems

We study asymptotic behavior of the bottom point of the spectrum of convolution type operators in environments with locally periodic microstructure. We show that its limit is described by an additive eigenvalue problem for Hamilton-Jacobi equation. In the periodic case we establish a more accurate two-term asymptotic formula.

Non-local convolution type operators with potential: essential and infinite discrete spectrum

The goal of this note is to study the spectrum of a self-adjoint convolution operator in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$ with an integrable kernel that is perturbed by an essentially bounded real-valued potential tending to zero at infinity. We show that the essential spectrum of such operator is the union of the spectrum of the convolution operator and of the essential range of the potential. Then we provide several sufficient conditions for the existence of a countable sequence of discrete eigenvalues. For operators having non-connected essential spectrum we give sufficient conditions for the existence of discrete eigenvalues in the corresponding spectral gaps.

Homogenization of non-autonomous operators of convolution type in periodic media

The paper deals with periodic homogenization problem for a para\-bo\-lic equation whose elliptic part is a convolution type operator with rapidly oscillating coefficients. It is assumed that the coefficients are rapidly oscillating periodic functions both in spatial and temporal variables and that the scaling is diffusive that is the scaling factor of the temporal variable is equal to the square of the scaling factor of the spatial variable. Under the assumption that the convolution kernel has a finite second moment and that the operator is symmetric in spatial variables we show that the studied equation admits homogenization and prove that the limit operator is a second order differential parabolic operator with constant coefficients.

Higher order homogenization for random non-autonomous parabolic operators

We consider Cauchy problem for a divergence form second order parabolic operator with rapidly oscillating coefficients that are periodic in spatial variables and random stationary ergodic in time. As was proved in [24] and [12] in this case the homogenized operator is deterministic. The paper focuses on non-diffusive scaling, when the oscillation in spatial variables is faster than that in temporal variable. Our goal is to study the asymptotic behaviour of the normalized difference between solutions of the original and the homogenized problems.

Hölder estimates for solutions of parabolic SPDEs

This paper considers second-order stochastic partial differential equations with additive noise given in a bounded domain of $\mathbb R^n$. We suppose that the coefficients of the noise are $L^p$-functions with sufficiently large $p$. We prove that the solutions are Hölder-continuous functions almost surely (a.s.) and that the respective Hölder norms have finite momenta of any order.
