Effective transmission conditions for second-order elliptic equations on networks in the limit of thin domains
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 358 (2020) no. 7, pp. 797-809.

We consider star-shaped tubular domains consisting of a number of non intersecting semi-infinite strips of small thickness that are connected by a central region of diameter proportional to the thickness of the strips. At the thin-domain limit, the region reduces to a network of half-lines with the same end point (junction). We show that the solutions of uniformly elliptic partial differential equations set on the domain with Neumann boundary conditions converge, in the thin-domain limit, to the unique solution of a second-order partial differential equation on the network satisfying an effective Kirchhoff-type transmission condition at the junction. The latter is found by solving an “ergodic”-type problem at infinity obtained after a first-order blow up at the junction.
