Abstract

The aim of the paper is to study the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of a quasilinear elliptic equation of the form with a high-contrast discontinuous coefficient aε(x), where ε is the parameter characterizing the scale of the microstucture. The coefficient aε(x) is assumed to degenerate everywhere in the domain Ω except in a thin connected microstructure of asymptotically small measure. It is shown that the asymptotical behaviour of the solution uε as ε → 0 is described by a homogenized quasilinear equation with the coefficients calculated by local energetic characteristics of the domain Ω.
