A mini-lecture series consisting of four 1 hour lectures.

We would like to consider asymptotic behaviour of various problems set in cylinders. Let Ω=(,)×(1,1) be the simplest cylinder possible. A good model problem is the following. Consider u the weak solution to {2x1u2x2u=f(x2)in Ω,u=0 on Ω. When is it trues that the solution converges toward u the solution of the lower dimensional problem below ? {2x2u=f(x2)in (1,1),u=0 on (1,1). If so in what sense ? With what speed of convergence with respect to ? What happens when f is also allowed to depend on x1 ? What happens if f is periodic in x1, is the solution forced to be periodic at the limit ? What happens for general elliptic operators ? For more general cylinders ? For nonlinear problems ? For variational inequalities ? For systems like the Stokes problem or the system of elasticity ? For general problems ? ... We will try to give an update on all these issues and bridge these questions with anisotropic singular perturbations problems. \smallskip \noindent {\bf Prerequisites} : Elementary knowledge on Sobolev Spaces and weak formulation of elliptic problems.
