Homogenization of monotone parabolic problems with several temporal scales

summary:In this paper we homogenize monotone parabolic problems with two spatial scales and any number of temporal scales. Under the assumption that the spatial and temporal scales are well-separated in the sense explained in the paper, we show that there is an H-limit defined by at most four distinct sets of local problems corresponding to slow temporal oscillations, slow resonant spatial and temporal oscillations (the “slow” self-similar case), rapid temporal oscillations, and rapid resonant spatial and temporal oscillations (the ``rapid'' self-similar case), respectively
