The paper deals with the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of a Laplace equation in a domain $$\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$$ perforated on one side $$\Omega^+= \Omega\cap \{x: x_1> 0\}$$ with a Dirichlet condition on the boundary of the cavities. Specifically, let $$Q= (0, 1)^n$$ be the unit cube and let $$Y_0$$ be the “hole”, a domain with smooth boundary such that $$\overline Y_0\subset Q$$. Let $G_\varepsilon= \mathbb{R}^n\backslash \bigcup_{m\in \mathbb{N}^n} \varepsilon(Y_0+ m)$ and let $$\Omega_\varepsilon= \Omega^+ \cap G_\varepsilon$$, $$\Omega_\varepsilon= (\Omega\backslash \Omega^+)\cup \Omega_\varepsilon$$. The boundary value problem is $\Delta u_\varepsilon+ f \quad\text{in} \quad \Omega_\varepsilon,\quad u_\varepsilon= 0 \quad \text{on}\quad \partial\Omega_\varepsilon$ with $$f\in C^\infty(\overline \Omega^+)\cap C^\infty(\overline{\Omega\backslash \Omega^+})$$. An expansion $$u_\varepsilon= v_0(x)+ \varepsilon v_1(x)+\cdots$$ is given, where the functions $$v_i$$ solve auxiliary boundary value problems.
