Abstract

We consider an anisotropic fractional operator and we consider the homogenization properties of an evolution equation. The scaling properties and the effective Hamiltonian that we obtain is different according to the fractional parameter. In the isotropic onedimensional case, we also prove a statement related to the so-called Orowan's law, that is an appropriate scaling of the effective Hamiltonian presents a linear behavior.
