Convergence Rates in L^2 for Elliptic Homogenization Problems

Abstract

We study rates of convergence of solutions in L^2 and H^{1/2} for a family of elliptic systems {L_ε} with rapidly oscillating oscillating coefficients in Lipschitz domains with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. As a consequence, we obtain convergence rates for Dirichlet, Neumann, and Steklov eigenvalues of {L_ε}. Most of our results, which rely on the recently established uniform estimates for the L^2 Dirichlet and Neumann problems in \cite{12,13}, are new even for smooth domains.
