“…In such a situation the type of approximating problems we consider, appear naturally in control theory/stabilization of waves, see [15,44,59,47,48], or in homogenization of vibration problems with inclusions near the boundary, see [51,28,29,17] and references therein. On the other hand, the limit problem appears in the boundary control theory, see [40,41,39,67,50,19] and references therein. Second, in Section 7 we explore the situation in which the damping and linear potential concentrate around a smooth, compact orientable hypersurface without boundary, M, contained in Ω, that is not touching the boundary Γ.…”
