Homogenization of Periodic Differential Operators as a Spectral Threshold Effect

  • Conference paper
New Trends in Mathematical Physics

Abstract

The present paper is devoted to the homogenization problem for a wide class of periodic second order differential operators (DO’s) in ℝd. This class includes a number of classical DO’s of mathematical physics. We propose a brief survey of the results obtained in a series of Birman and Suslina (Systems, Approximations, Singular Integral Operators and Related Topics, Oper. Theory Adv. Appl., vol. 129, pp. 71–107, 2001; Algebra Anal. 15(5):108, 2003; Algebra Anal. 17(5):69–90, 2005; Algebra Anal. 17(6):1–104, 2005; Algebra Anal. 18(6):1–130, 2006).
