The arguments employed here are quite different from theirs, and the basic idea comes from \\cite{QX2}, originally motivated by \\cite{SZW2,SZW12,TS}. We obtain an almost-sharp $O(\\varepsilon\\ln(r_0/\\varepsilon))$ convergence rate in $L^2$ space, and a sharp $O(\\varepsilon)$ error estimate in $L^{\\frac{2d}{d-1}}$ space by a little stronger assumption. Under the dimensional condition $d=2$, we also establish the optimal $O(\\varepsilon)$ convergence rate on pressure terms in $L^2$ space. Then utilizing the convergence rates we can derive the $W^{1,p}$ estimates uniformly down to microscopic scale $\\varepsilon$ without any smoothness assumption on the coefficients, where $|\\frac{1}{p}-\\frac{1}{2}|<\\frac{1}{2d}+\\epsilon$ and $\\epsilon$ is a positive constant independent of $\\varepsilon$. Combining the local estimates, based upon $\\text{VMO}$ coefficients, consequently leads to the uniform $W^{1,p}$ estimates. Here the proofs do not rely on the well known compactness methods.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-09-01T06:36:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35B27" ], "keywords": [ "convergence rate", "stokes systems", "lipschitz domains", "homogenization theory", "basic idea comes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
