Abstract: Homogenization is studied for a nonlinear elliptic boundary-value problem with a large nonlinear potential. More specifically we are interested in the asymptotic behavior of a sequence of p-Laplacians of the form ${\displaystyle }$ - ext{div}(a(frac{x}{varepsilon})|Du_varepsilon|^{p-2}Du_varepsilon) +frac{1}{varepsilon}V(frac{x}{varepsilon})|u_varepsilon|^{p-2}u_varepsilon=f. ${\displaystyle }$ It is shown that, under a centring condition on the potential $V$, there exists a two-scale homogenized system with solution $(u,u_1)$ such that the sequence $u_{v}arepsilon$ of solutions converges weakly to $u$ in $W^{1,p}$ and the gradients $D_x{u}_{v}arepsilon$ two-scale converges weakly to $D_{x}u+D_y{u}_1$ in $L^p$, respectively. We characterize the limit system explicitly by means of two-scale convergence and a new convergence result.
