Abstract
We consider a quasi-linear heat transmission problem for a composite material which fills the n-dimensional Euclidean space. The composite has a periodic structure and consists of two materials. In each periodicity cell one material occupies a cavity of size ϵ, and the second material fills the remaining part of the cell. We assume that the thermal conductivities of the materials depend nonlinearly upon the temperature. For ϵ small enough the problem is known to have a solution, i.e., a pair of functions which determine the temperature distribution in the two materials. Then we prove a limiting property and a local uniqueness result for families of solutions which converge as ϵ tends to 0.
