We consider the effective conductivity $\lambda^{\mathrm{eff}}$ of a periodic two-phase composite obtained by introducing into an infinite homogeneous matrix a periodic set of inclusions of a different material. Then we study the behavior of $\lambda^{\mathrm{eff}}$ upon perturbation of the shape of the inclusions, of the periodicity structure, and of the conductivity of each material.
