Аннотация:
We consider the minimization problems of obstacle type
$$
\min\left\{\int_\Omega|Du|^2\,dx\colon u\ge\psi_\varepsilon\ \text{on}\ P,\ u=0\ \text{on}\ \partial\Omega\right\},
$$
as
$\varepsilon\to0$. Here
$\Omega$ is a bounded domain in
$\mathbb R^n$,
$\psi_\varepsilon$ is a periodic function of period
$\varepsilon$, constructed from a fixed function
$\psi$, and
$P\subset\subset\Omega$ is a subset of the hyper-plane
$\{x\in\mathbb R^n\colon x\cdot\eta=0\}$. We assume that
$n\ge3$ and that the normal
$\eta$ satisfies a generic condition that guarantees certain ergodic properties of the quantity
$$
\#\left\{k\in\mathbb Z^n\colon P\cap\{x\colon|x-\varepsilon k|<\varepsilon^{n/(n-1)}\}\right\}.
$$
Under these hypotheses we compute explicitly the limit functional of the obstacle problem above, which is of the type
$$
H^1_0(\Omega)\owns u\mapsto\int_\Omega|Du|^2\,dx+\int_PG(u)\,d\sigma.
$$
