Limit behavior of thin heterogeneous domain with rapidly oscillating boundary

Abstract We give a generalization of the work presented in 6] where the asymptotic behaviour, as ε→0, of a monotone nonlinear problem in a bounded multidomain of R^N depending on ε was addressed. We extend the previous results to the case where the nonlinear operator depends both on the slow and rapid variable and we prove that, due to the presence of the rapid variable, the algebraic equation contained in the limit problem obtained in 6] must be replaced by a partial differential equation with respect to the microscopic variable y′.
