Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide corrector results associated to the homogenization of a diffusion process which takes place in a binary structure formed by an ambiental connected phase surrounding a suspension of very small spheres distributed in a ε-periodic network. The suspension has a total mass of unity order and a vanishing volume. The results obtained here complete the earlier study by Bentalha et al. [Revue Roumaine de Math. Pures Appl. 52(2) (2007), 129–149] on the asymptotic behavior of this problem.

Keywords: diffusion, periodic homogenization, corrector, non-local effects, fine-scale substructure
