Homogenization Algebras and Applications

The book presents a deterministic homogenization theory intended for the mathematical analysis of non-stochastic multiscale problems, both within and beyond the periodic setting. The main tools are the so-called homogenization algebras, the classical Gelfand representation theory, and a class of actions by the multiplicative group of positive real numbers on numerical spaces. The basic approach is the Sigma-convergence method, which generalizes the well-known two-scale convergence procedure. Num
