On the homogenization of partial integro-differential-algebraic equations
We present a Hilbert space perspective to homogenization of standard linear evolutionary boundary value problems in mathematical physics and provide a unified treatment for (non-)periodic homogenization problems in thermodynamics, elasticity, electro-magnetism and coupled systems thereof. The approach permits the consideration of memory problems as well as differential-algebraic equations. We show that the limit equation is well-posed and causal. We rely on techniques from functional analysis and operator theory only.
