Stochastic homogenization of a class of monotone eigenvalue problems. (English) Zbl 1224.35026
Summary: Stochastic homogenization (with multiple fine scales) is studied for a class of nonlinear monotone eigenvalue problems. More specifically, we are interested in the asymptotic behaviour of a sequence of realizations of the form $-\operatorname {div} \Bigl (a\Bigl (T_1\Bigl (\frac {x}{\varepsilon _1}\Bigr )\omega _1,T_2 \Bigl (\frac {x}{\varepsilon _2}\Bigr )\omega _2, \nabla u^\omega _{\varepsilon }\Bigr )\Bigr ) =\lambda _\varepsilon ^\omega \mathcal C(u^\omega _{\varepsilon }).$ It is shown, under certain structure assumptions on the random map $$a(\omega _1,\omega _2,\xi )$$, that the sequence $$\{\lambda _\varepsilon ^{\omega ,k},u^{\omega ,k}_\varepsilon \}$$ of $$k$$th eigenpairs converges to the $$k$$th eigenpair $$\{\lambda ^k,u^k\}$$ of the homogenized eigenvalue problem $$- \operatorname {div}( {b}(\nabla u) ) = \lambda {\overline {\mathcal C}}(u).$$ For the case of $$p$$-Laplacian type maps we characterize $$b$$ explicitly.
