Micro-architectured systems and periodic network structures play an import role in multi-scale physics and material sciences. Mathematical modeling leads to challenging problems on the analytical and the numerical side. Previous studies focused on averaging techniques that can be used to reveal the corresponding macroscopic model describing the effective behavior. This study aims at a mathematical rigorous proof within the framework of homogenization theory. As a model example, the variational form of a self-adjoint operator on a large periodic network is considered. A notion of two-scale convergence for network functions based on a so-called two-scale transform is applied. It is shown that the sequence of solutions of the variational microscopic model on varying networked domains converges towards the solution of the macroscopic model. A similar result is achieved for the corresponding sequence of tangential gradients. The resulting homogenized variational model can be easily solved with standard PDE-solvers. In addition, the homogenized coefficients provide a characterization of the physical system on a global scale. In this way, a mathematically rigorous concept for the homogenization of self-adjoint operators on periodic manifolds is achieved. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the presented approach.

Computational networks and systems - homogenization of variational problems on micro-architectured networks and devices Kropat, Erik; Meyer-Nieberg, Silja; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2019-05-04) Networked materials and micro-architectured systems gain increasingly importance in multi-scale physics and engineering sciences. Typically, computational intractable microscopic models have to be applied to capture the physical processes and numerous transmission conditions at singularities, interfaces and borders. The topology of the periodic microstructure governs the effective behaviour of such networked systems. A mathematical concept for the analysis of microscopic models on extremely large periodic n...
Bridging the gap between variational homogenization results and two-scale asymptotic averaging techniques on periodic network structures Kropat, Erik; Meyer-Nieberg, Silja; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2017) In modern material sciences and multi-scale physics homogenization approaches provide a global characterization of physical systems that depend on the topology of the underlying microgeometry. Purely formal approaches such as averaging techniques can be applied for an identification of the averaged system. For models in variational form, two-scale convergence for network functions can be used to derive the homogenized model. The sequence of solutions of the variational microcsopic models and the correspondi...
A topological system for codification of river basins in Turkey Ulucan, İbrahim; Akyürek, Sevda Zuhal; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2021-6-23) Recently, owing to incredible development in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and software fields, besides effectively using the network and topology instruments, great advances have been made in the field of hydrologic coding through robust interaction among multidisciplinary sciences. If all hydrological properties can be combined in a network that has its own sui generis situation and topological properties, meaningful and holistic analyses can be formed more easily. Additionally, GIS topology is an ...
Singularly perturbed diffusion-advection-reaction processes on extremely large three-dimensional curvilinear networks with a periodic microstructure -- efficient solution strategies based on homogenization theory Kropat, Erik; Meyer-Nieberg, Silja; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2016-8) Boundary value problems on large periodic networks arise in many applications such as soil mechanics in geophysics or the analysis of photonic crystals in nanotechnology. As a model example, singularly perturbed elliptic differential equations of second order are addressed. Typically, the length of periodicity is very small compared to the size of the covered region. The overall complexity of the networks raises serious problems on the computational side. The high density of the graph, the huge number of ed...
