Review text

The paper is concerned with some multiparameter integral functionals of the form \[ \int_\Omega W_\lambda\bigg({x\over\varepsilon},\nabla u(x)\bigg) dx, \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded domain in \({\mathbb R}^N\), \(u\colon\Omega\to{\mathbb R}^m\), \(\varepsilon>0\), and \(W_\lambda\colon {\mathbb R}^N\times{\mathbb R}^{mN}\to[0,+\infty[\) is \(]0,1[^N\) periodic with respect to the first variable. The novelty of the paper is that the integrand is permitted to depend on a vector of parameters \(\lambda=(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_k)\in{\mathbb R}^k\), with \(k\geq 1\). The asymptotic behaviour of the above functionals is studied as \(\varepsilon\to 0\) and \(\lambda\to 0\), possibly following particular paths linking them and forcing them to vanish simultaneously. Homogenization formulas are deduced, as well as applications to convex and non-convex integrands.
