Let \(\Omega\) be a bounded domain in \({\mathbb{R}}^{n}\). Denote by \(B_\alpha(r)\) an open ball in \({\mathbb{R}}^{n}\) of radius \(r\) and with center at point \(x^\alpha = \varepsilon\alpha\;(\varepsilon \in{\mathbb{R}},\;\alpha\in{\mathbb{Z}}^{n})\), put \(G_\varepsilon^\alpha =B_\alpha (r_\varepsilon) \backslash \overline{B_\alpha(r_\varepsilon - d_\varepsilon)}\), where \(r_\varepsilon =\varepsilon r\), \(d_\varepsilon =\varepsilon ^{2+\gamma}d\), \(0<r<1/4\), \(d>0\), and introduce the sets \(B_\varepsilon,\;G_\varepsilon\) which are, respectively, the union of all \(G_\alpha ^\varepsilon, B_\alpha(r_\varepsilon-d_\varepsilon)\) containing in \(\Omega\). Considering \(\varepsilon\) as a small parameter, the author studies a solution \({\mathbf u}^\varepsilon(x,t)\) of the Cauchy-Neumann problem for the system \({\mathbf u}_t- \sum_{i=1}^{n}(a^\varepsilon(x){\mathbf u}_{x_i})_{x_i}+{\mathbf f({\mathbf u})}= {\mathbf h}^\varepsilon(x),\;(x,t)\in\Omega\times[0,T]\). Here \({\mathbf u},\;{\mathbf f},\;{\mathbf h}^\varepsilon \in{\mathbb{R}}^{N}\), and the function \(a^\varepsilon(x)\) equals 1 for \(x\in \Omega\backslash G_\varepsilon\) and \(a\varepsilon^{3+\gamma } (a>0)\) for \(x\in G_{\varepsilon}\). A system of parabolic equations and a system of ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients are constructed in explicit form, and it is shown that on the set \(\Omega_\varepsilon =\Omega\backslash(G_\varepsilon\cup B_{\varepsilon })\) the solution \({\mathbf u}^ \varepsilon\) converges in mean-square to a solution of the first system while on \(B_\varepsilon \) it converges in mean-square to a solution of the second one. The homogenization problem for linear parabolic equations has been considered by \textit{E. Ya. Khruslov} [Proceedings of the International Congress of Mathematicians, Zürich, Switzerland 1994, Birkhäuser, Basel, Vol. II, 1270-1277 (1995; Zbl 0851.35013)].
