Homogenization of semi-linear PDEs with discontinuous effective coefficients


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We study the asymptotic behavior of solution of semi-linear PDEs. Neither periodicity nor ergodicity will be assumed. In return, we assume that the coefficients admit a limit in `{C}esaro sense. In such a case, the averaged coefficients could be discontinuous. We use probabilistic approach based on weak convergence for the associated backward stochastic differential equation in the S-topology to derive the averaged PDE. However, since the averaged coefficients are discontinuous, the classical viscosity solution is not defined for the averaged PDE. We then use the notion of $L^p-$viscosity solution introduced in cite{CCKS}. We use BSDEs techniques to establish the existence of $L^p-$viscosity solution for the averaged PDE. We establish weak continuity for the flow of the limit diffusion process and related the PDE limit to the backward stochastic differential equation via the representation of $L^p$-viscosity solution.
