Abstract: We study a parabolic problem set in a domain divided by a perforated interface. The pores alternate between an open and a closed state, periodically in time. We consider the asymptotics of the solution for vanishingly small size of the pores and time period. The interface condition prevailing in the limit is a linear relation between the flux (on either side) and the jump of the limiting solution across the interface. More exactly this behaviour only takes place when the relative sizes of the relevant geometrical and temporal parameters are connected by suitable relations. With respect to the stationary version of this problem, which is known in the literature, we demonstrate the appearance of a new admissible asymptotic standard. More in general, we describe the precise interplay between the geometrical and temporal parameters leading to the quoted interface condition. This work represents a preliminary mathematical investigation of a model of selective transport of chemical species through biological membranes.
