Description
Summary:Our work is motivated by numerical homogenization of materials such as concrete, modeled as composites structured as randomly distributed inclusions imbedded in a matrix. In this paper, we propose a method for the approximation of the periodic corrector problem based on boundary integral equations. The fully populated matrices obtained by the discretization of the integral operators are successfully dealt with using the ℋ-matrix format.
