In the Hilbert space $L_2(\\mathcal{O};\\mathbb{C}^n)$, we consider matrix elliptic second order differential operators $\\mathcal{A}_{D,\\varepsilon}$ and $\\mathcal{A}_{N,\\varepsilon}$ with the Dirichlet or Neumann boundary condition on $\\partial \\mathcal{O}$, respectively. Here $\\varepsilon>0$ is the small parameter. The coefficients of the operators are periodic and depend on $\\mathbf{x}/\\varepsilon$. The behavior of the operator $e^{-\\mathcal{A}_{\\dag ,\\varepsilon}t}$, $\\dag =D,N$, for small $\\varepsilon$ is studied. It is shown that, for fixed $t>0$, the operator $e^{-\\mathcal{A}_{\\dag ,\\varepsilon}t}$ converges in the $L_2$-operator norm to $e^{-\\mathcal{A}_{\\dag}^0 t}$, as $\\varepsilon \\to 0$. Here $\\mathcal{A}_{\\dag}^0$ is the effective operator with constant coefficients. For the norm of the difference of the operators $e^{-\\mathcal{A}_{\\dag ,\\varepsilon}t}$ and $e^{-\\mathcal{A}_{\\dag}^0 t}$ a sharp order estimate (of order $O(\\varepsilon)$) is obtained. Also, we find approximation for the exponential $e^{-\\mathcal{A}_{\\dag ,\\varepsilon}t}$ in the $(L_2\\rightarrow H^1)$-norm with error estimate of order $O(\\varepsilon ^{1/2})$; in this approximation, a corrector is taken into account. The results are applied to homogenization of solutions of initial boundary value problems for parabolic systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-03-19T19:10:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B27" ], "keywords": [ "initial boundary value problems", "parabolic systems", "periodic coefficients", "second order differential operators", "homogenization" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 68, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
