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 corresponding sequence of tangential gradients converge toward limit functions that are characterized by the solution of the variational macroscopic model. Here, a further extension of this result is proved. The variational macroscopic model can be equivalently represented by a homogenized model on the superior domain and a certain number of reference cell problems. In this way, the results obtained by averaging strategies are supported by notions of convergence for network functions on varying domains.

Entangled Harmonic Oscillators and Space-Time Entanglement Başkal, Sibel; Kim, Young S.; Noz, Marilyn E. (MDPI AG, 2016-6-28) The mathematical basis for the Gaussian entanglement is discussed in detail, as well as its implications in the internal space-time structure of relativistic extended particles. It is shown that the Gaussian entanglement shares the same set of mathematical formulas with the harmonic oscillator in the Lorentz-covariant world. It is thus possible to transfer the concept of entanglement to the Lorentz-covariant picture of the bound state, which requires both space and time separations between two constituent p...
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...
Autoparallel orbits in Kerr Brans-Dicke spacetimes Cebeci, H; Dereli, T; Tucker, RW (2004-01-01) The bounded orbital motion of a massive spinless test particle in the background of a Kerr Brans-Dicke geometry is analysed in terms of worldlines that are auto-parallels of different metric compatible spacetime connections. In one case the connection is that of Levi-Civita with zero-torsion. In the second case the connection has torsion determined by the gradient of the Brans-Dicke background scalar field. The calculations permit one in principle to discriminate between these possibilities.
RELATIVISTIC DESCRIPTION OF HEAVY Q(Q)OVER-BAR BOUND-STATES ZAKOUT, I; Sever, Ramazan (1994-10-01) We study the relativistic description of heavy qqBAR bound states in the context of the relativistic wave equation. We used some attractive QCD based potentials where the vector part incorporates in the two loop perturbation QCD effects at short distances while the scalar part approaches the linear confining potential at large distances. We calculate the energy levels, leptonic and hadronic decay widths, as well as the E1 rate transition for ccBAR and bbBAR. Results are compared with their experimental v...
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...
