Multiscale homogenization of a class of nonlinear equations with applications in lubrication theory and applications

We prove a homogenization result for monotone operators by using the method of multiscale convergence. More precisely, we study the asymptotic behavior as ε→0 of the solutions uε of the nonlinear equation div⁡aε(x,∇uε)=div⁡bε, where both aε and bε oscillate rapidly on several microscopic scales and...
