Homogenization is not about periodicity, or Gamma-convergence, but about understanding which effective equations to use at macroscopic level, knowing which partial differential equations govern mesoscopic levels, without using probabilities (which destroy physical reality); instead, one uses various topologies of weak type, the G-convergence of Sergio Spagnolo, the H-convergence of François Murat and the author, and some responsible for the appearance of nonlocal effects, which many theories in continuum mechanics or physics guessed wrongly. For a better understanding of 20th century science, new mathematical tools must be introduced, like the author’s H-measures, variants by Patrick Gérard, and others yet to be discovered.
The papers included in this proceedings volume are mostly original research papers, dealing with life-span of waves, nonlinear interaction of waves, and various applications to fluid mechanics.
This collection is the 14th in an ongoing series on differentiable functions of several variables, presenting recent contributions to a line of research begun by Sobolev in 1950. The papers study various spaces of differentiable functions of several real variables in Euclidean space, their imbeddings, equivalent normings, weighted estimates of derivatives, and traces on sets. Several questions of approximation in function spaces on the line, on a hyperboloid, and on Lobachevsky space are studied. Investigations of bilinear approximations are applied to estimates of the singular numbers of integral operators and widths. The authors also examine the asymptotics of the spectrum of elliptic systems, as well as the Dirichlet variational problem for a degenerate elliptic operator. Finally, a block method of solving Laplace's equation for nonanalytic boundary conditions is developed.
This volume contains papers that were presented at HYP2006, the eleventh international Conference on Hyperbolic Problems: Theory, Numerics and Applications. This biennial series of conferences has become one of the most important international events in Applied Mathematics. As computers became more and more powerful, the interplay between theory, modeling, and numerical algorithms gained considerable impact, and the scope of HYP conferences expanded accordingly.
