Periodic reiterated homogenization for elliptic functions

In this paper, we study reiterated homogenization for equations of the form . We assume that a is a Carathéodory function and satisfies some monotonicity and growth conditions and its reiterated unfolding converges almost everywhere to a Carathéodory type function. Under these assumptions, we show that the sequence of solutions converges to the solution of a limit variational problem. In particular this contains the case , where a is periodic in the second and third arguments, and continuous in each argument.
