    Mathematical modeling of point defects in materials science (English)
    0 references
    The paper surveys recent mathematical work related to the modeling of defects in materials science at different scales. Using a very accessible style, the authors make the readers travel through standard topics like periodic and random homogenization to less standard issues like ``modeling the defects'' (deterministically, randomly, deviating or not from periodic settings) at the atomistic level or at higher scales. The focus is very much on crystals and their deviations from perfect structures.NEWLINENEWLINEThe exposition is pedagogic and written in an elementary style.
