A Probabilistic Approach to the Homogenization of Divergence-Form Operators in Periodic Media
Abstract
We prove here using stochastic analysis the homogenization property of second-order divergence-form operators with lower-order differential terms (possibly highly-oscillating) in periodic media. The coefficients are not assumed to have any regularity, so the stochastic calculus theory for processes associated to Dirichlet forms is used. The Girsanov Theorem and the Feynman-Kac formula are used to work on the probabilistic representation of the solutions of some PDEs.
