Abstract: We consider a homogenization problem associated with quasi-crystalline multiple integrals of the form �egin{equation*} �egin{aligned} u_varepsilonin L^p(Omega;mathbb{R}^d) mapsto int_Omega f_RBig(x,frac{x}{varepsilon}, u_varepsilon(x)Big), dx, end{aligned} end{equation*} where

u_{v} a r e p s i l o n

is subject to constant-coefficient linear partial differential constraints. The quasi-crystalline structure of the underlying composite is encoded in the dependence on the second variable of the Lagrangian,

f_{R}

, and is modeled via the cut-and-project scheme that interprets the heterogeneous microstructure to be homogenized as an irrational subspace of a higher-dimensional space. A key step in our analysis is the characterization of the quasi-crystalline two-scale limits of sequences of the vector fields

u_{v} a r e p s i l o n

that are in the kernel of a given constant-coefficient linear partial differential operator,

m a t h c a l A

, that is,

m a t h c a l A u_{v} a r e p s i l o n = 0

. Our results provide a generalization of related ones in the literature concerning the

m m a t h c a l A = c u r l

case to more general differential operators

m a t h c a l A

with constant coefficients, and without coercivity assumptions on the Lagrangian

f_{R}

.
