The novelty of the problem is due to the specific scaling of the physical quantities characterizing the dielectric component of the composite. This leads to the appearance of a peculiar displacement current governed by a Laplace-Beltrami pseudo-parabolic equation. This pseudo-parabolic character is present also in the homogenized equation, which is obtained by the unfolding technique.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-01-21T21:28:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B27", "35K70", "74Q10" ], "keywords": [ "laplace-beltrami operator", "heterogeneous media", "concentration", "homogenization problem modelling electrical conduction", "peculiar displacement current" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 36, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
