Popis: According to a scalar theory of gravity with a preferred frame, electromagnetism in the presence of a gravitational field implies that there is an additional energy tensor, which might contribute to dark matter. The expression of this tensor is determined by a mere scalar $p$, that depends on the EM field and (for a weak field) on the Newtonian gravitational field. We briefly recall why this tensor arises and how the EM field in a galaxy can be calculated. The data fields that enter the PDE for the scalar field $p$ oscillate very quickly in space and time, as does the EM field. This prevents integration of that PDE at the relevant galactic scale. Therefore, a homogenization of that PDE has to be operated. We discuss in some detail three possible ways of applying the homogenization theory to that PDE: time, space, or spacetime homogenization. The second and third ways may lead to feasible, albeit heavy calculations.
