The paper deals with a model of the homogenized fluid saturated porous material which recently was obtained by the authors using the asymptotic analysis of the Biot type medium characterized by the double porosity. The homogenized macroscopic model is featured by the fading memory effects...

We apply multiresolution techniques to study the effective properties of boundary value problems. Conditions under which boundary values are preserved in the effective (`homogenized') formulation are developed and discussed. Relations between the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the generic...

We provide a model of product-based cultural change where trade integration leads to cultural convergence. A standard trade model of Dixit–Stiglitz monopolistic competition is coupled with a micro-founded model of cultural dynamics. We show that access to varieties that are attached to a...

The paper deals with a structural optimization of composite materials with periodic microstructures invoking an elasto-plasticity model with the von Mises yield criterion. Closest-point return mapping algorithms within the incremental finite element method are applied for the numerical solution...
