Approximate correctors and convergence rates in almost-periodic homogenization

We carry out a comprehensive study of quantitative homogenization of second-order elliptic systems with bounded measurable coefficients that are almost-periodic in the sense of H. Weyl. We obtain uniform local L-2 estimates for approximate correctors in terms of a function that quantifies the almost-periodicity of the coefficient matrix. We give a condition that implies the existence of (true) correctors. These estimates as well as similar estimates for the dual approximate correctors yield optimal or near optimal convergence rates in H-1 and L-2. The L-2-based Holder and Lipschitz estimates at large scale are also established. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
