Abstract

We investigate convergence rates in periodic homogenization of second-order parabolic systems with fourth-order singular perturbations. Different rates depending on $\kappa$ and $\varepsilon$, which represent respectively the strength of the singular perturbation and the scale of the heterogeneities, are obtained for the problem with Dirichlet and Navier boundary conditions.

Keywords
