講演: On the homogenization problem for the linear Boltzmann equation
Prof. Francesco Salvarani (Léonard de Vinci School of Engineers, France & Dipartimento di Matematica, Università di Pavia, Italy)
要旨: In this talk, we study the homogenization problem for the linear Boltzmann equation when the optical parameters are highly heterogeneous in the energy variable. We employ the method of two-scale convergence to arrive at the homogenization result. In doing so, we show the induction of a memory effect in the homogenization limit and we discuss its link with the self-shielding effect in nuclear reactor physics. The results presented here have been obtained in collaboration with Harsha Hutridurga and Olga Mula.
