چکیده

We study the homogenization of a class of actions with an underlying Lagrangian L defined on the set of absolutely continuous paths in the Wasserstein space Pp(R). We introduce an appropriate topology on this set and obtain the existence of a Γ-limit of the rescaled Lagrangians. Our main goal is provide to a representation formula for these Γ-limits in terms of the effective Lagrangians. Not only does this allow us to study “convexity properties” of the effective Lagrangian, but also the differentiability properties of its Legendre transform restricted to constant functions. In the case d > 1 we obtain partial results in terms of an effective Lagrangian defined on Lp((0, 1)d;Rd). Our study provides a way of computing the limit of a family of metrics on the Wasserstein space. The results of this paper can also be applied to study the homogenization of variational solutions of the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system, as wel l as the asymptotic behavior of calibrated curves. Whereas our study in the one-dimensional case covers a large class of Lagrangians, that of the higher dimensional case is concerned with special Lagrangians such as the ones obtained by regularizing the potential energy of the d-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system.

Homogenization of Variational Problems under Manifold Constraints

Abstract. Homogenization of integral functionals is studied under the constraint that admissible maps have to take their values into a given smooth manifold. The notion of tangential homogenization is defined by analogy with the tangential quasiconvexity introduced by Dacorogna, Fonseca, Malý & Trivisa [18]. For energies with superlinear or linear growth, a Γ-convergence result is established i...

Homogenization of Periodic Nonconvex Integral Functionals in Terms of Young Measures

Homogenization of periodic functionals, whose integrands possess possibly multi-well structure, is treated in terms of Young measures. More precisely, we characterize the Γ-limit of sequences of such functionals in the set of Young measures, extending the relaxation theorem of Kinderlherer and Pedregal. We also make precise the relationship between our homogenized density and the classical one....

Existence of solutions of infinite systems of integral equations in the Frechet spaces

In this paper we apply the technique of measures of noncompactness to the theory of infinite system of integral equations in the Fr´echet spaces. Our aim is to provide a few generalization of Tychonoff fixed point theorem and prove the existence of solutions for infinite systems of nonlinear integral equations with help of the technique of measures of noncompactness and a generalization of Tych...
