Jose, Editha C. Homogenization of a parabolic problem with an imperfect interface. (English) Zbl 1199.35015 Rev. Roum. Math. Pures Appl. 54, No. 3, 189-222 (2009). The authors describe heat diffusion in a two-component composite conductor with an \(\varepsilon\)-periodic interface. Due to an imperfect contact on the interface, the heat flow through the interface is proportional to the jump of the temperature field by a factor of order \(\varepsilon^\gamma.\) They study the limit behaviour of this parabolic problem when the parameter \(\varepsilon\) tends to zero and describe the different homogenized (limit) problems, according to the value of \(\gamma.\) When \(\gamma = 1,\) a memory effect appears in the limit problem.
