Abstract:

We consider a sequence of linear Dirichlet problems $-{\rm div} ( \sigma_\varepsilon \nabla u_\varepsilon) = f$, with $u_\varepsilon \in H^1_0(\Omega)$ and $(\sigma_\varepsilon)$ uniformly elliptic and possibly non-symmetric. Using purely variational arguments we give an alternative proof of the compactness of $H$-convergence, originally proved by Murat and Tartar.

Keywords: $\Gamma$-convergence, linear elliptic operators, $H$-convergence
