Abstract:

We study the homogenization of the equation $$ R(\epsilon{-1}x){\partial u{\epsilon} \over\partial t}-\Delta u{\epsilon} = f\ , $$ where $R$ is a periodic function which may vanish or change sign, with appropriate initialfinal conditions. The main tool is a compactness result for sequences of functions which have bounded norms in the spaces associated to the problems.
