This book investigates homogenisation problems for divergence form equations with rapidly sign-changing coefficients. Focusing on problems with piecewise constant, scalar coefficients in a (d-dimensional) crosswalk type shape, we will provide a limit procedure in order to understand potentially ill-posed and non-coercive settings.
Depending on the integral mean of the coefficient and its inverse, the limits can either satisfy the usual homogenisation formula for stratified media, be entirely degenerate or be a non-local differential operator of 4th order. In order to mark the drastic change of nature, we introduce the ‘inner spectrum’ for conductivities. We show that even though 0 is contained in the inner spectrum for all strictly positive periods, the limit inner spectrum can be empty. Furthermore, even though the spectrum was confined in a bounded set uniformly for all strictly positive periods and not containing 0, the limit inner spectrum might have 0 as an essential spectral point and accumulate at ∞ or even be the whole of C. This is in stark contrast to the classical situation, where it is possible to derive upper and lower bounds in terms of the values assumed by the coefficients in the pre-asymptotics.
Along the way, we also develop a theory for Sturm–Liouville type operators with indefinite weights, reduce the question on solvability of the associated Sturm–Liouville operator to understanding zeros of a certain explicit polynomial and show that generic real perturbations of piecewise constant coefficients lead to continuously invertible Sturm–Liouville expressions.
Marcus Waurick graduated in Mathematics with minor in Physics at TU Dresden in 2009. During his first employment at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, he finished his PhD in 2011 on homogenisation theory and accepted a position at the Institute for Analysis at TU Dresden later that year. In 2015, he took up a research post at the University of Bath, and in 2016, he completed his habilitation thesis. The following year, he became Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Strathclyde where he was honored with the Research Excellence Award in 2018. In 2020, he accepted a position at TU Hamburg as research associate, and in November of the same year, he became deputy professor at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. Since April 2021, he has been a University Professor at TU Bergakademie Freiberg and held the chair for Partial Differential Equations. He has contributed to more than 70 research articles and 3 books, with his work spanning partial differential equations, evolutionary equations, operator theory, numerical analysis, homogenisation, control theory, and functional analysis.

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel with contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us or GreatBookPricesUK, Willow Farm Business Park, Returns Ref: [transaction or order number], DE74 2TW, Castle Donington, Derby, United Kingdom, +1 410-964-0026, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
