Abstract

In previous works, the homogenization of the problem with p-Laplace diffusion and nonlinear reaction in the boundary of periodically distributed particles in n-dimensional domains has been studied in the cases where \(p \le n\). The main trait of the cases \(p \le n\) is the existence of a critical size of the particles, for which the nonlinearity arising of the limit problem does not coincide with the non linear term of the microscopic reaction. The main result of this paper proves that in the case \(p > n\) there exists no critical size.
