Homogenization problems of parabolic minima (Q1286672)

In this paper the author deals with homogenization problems in nonlinear parabolic equations, including the Newtonian filtration equations, P-Laplace equations and nonlinear parabolic systems in divergence from. The parabolic integral functional, associated to the problem, is studied in the framework of \(\Gamma\)-convergence theory. The integrand \(f(z/ \varepsilon, u/\varepsilon, Du)\) is allowed to satisfy a non-coercive assumption. These results generalize the known results in the elliptic case, too.
