Short Description
Asymptotic analysis is a powerful mathematical tool for understanding the behavior of functions and solutions to problems as inputs become large or small. Asymptotic approaches are widely used in various fields, including physics, engineering, and computer science, to simplify complex equations and gain insights into the behavior of systems. Homogenization theory is a collections of asymptotic methods used to study the behavior of heterogeneous materials by averaging their properties to derive effective macroscopic models. The course consists of three lectures. The first lecture introduces the main concepts of asymptotic analysis, while the subsequent ones focus on the theory of homogenization. The presentation of the material will be brief but comprehensively to ensure a clear understanding of the topic, with rigorous mathematical proofs and justifications
provided.
