Homogenization in heterogeneous media modeled by the Laplace-Beltrami operator
The study of thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of composite materials plays an increasingly important role in material sciences because of their wide spectrum of applica-
tions, for instance, in industrial processes, biomathematics, medical diagnosis. In this talk, we discuss some models which describe the thermal diffusivity or the electrical
conductivity in a composite medium with a nely mixed periodic structure, assuming that the microstructure of the materials under consideration is made by two different diffusive
