Homogenization of the Peierls-Nabarro model for dislocation dynamics

This paper is concerned with a result of homogenization of an integro-differential equation describing dislocation dynamics. Our model involves both an anisotropic L��vy operator of order 1 and a potential depending periodically on $u/\ep$. The limit equation is a non-local Hamilton-Jacobi equation, which is an effective plastic law for densities of dislocations moving in a single slip plane.
