This monograph surveys the theory of quantitative homogenization for
second-order linear elliptic systems in divergence form with rapidly
oscillating periodic coefficients in a bounded domain. It begins with a
review of the classical qualitative homogenization theory, and addresses
the problem of convergence rates of solutions. The main body of the
monograph investigates various interior and boundary regularity
estimates that are uniform in the small parameter e>0. Additional
topics include convergence rates for Dirichlet eigenvalues and
asymptotic expansions of fundamental solutions, Green functions, and
Neumann functions.
The monograph is intended for advanced graduate students and researchers
in the general areas of analysis and partial differential equations. It
provides the reader with a clear and concise exposition of an important
and currently active area of quantitative homogenization.
