Abstract:

This article considers a homogenization procedure for a case where on the interface between two materials the solution of the state equation is discontinuous, but the co-gradients are continuous. It is shown that for simple cases the standard theory of homogenization can be applied to describe properties of the corresponding composite.

Keywords: homogenization; discontinuous solutions; elliptic equation
