We obtain that the optimal rate of convergence is either $O(\\varepsilon)$ or $O(\\varepsilon^2)$ depending on the diffusion matrix $A$, source term $f$, and boundary data $g$. Moreover, we show that the set of diffusion matrices $A$ that give optimal rate $O(\\varepsilon)$ is open and dense in the set of $C^2$ periodic, symmetric, and positive definite matrices, which means that generically, the optimal rate is $O(\\varepsilon)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-01-06T18:55:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "optimal rate", "linear elliptic equations", "periodic homogenization", "non-divergence form", "convergence" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
