An initial boundary value problem for the semilinear parabolic equation \[ \frac{\partial u^\varepsilon}{\partial t}-\sum^n_{i,j=1}\frac{\partial}{\partial x_1}\left(a^\varepsilon_{ij}(x)\frac{\partial u^\varepsilon}{\partial x_j}\right)+f(u^\varepsilon)=h^\varepsilon(x), \quad\quad x\in \Omega,\quad t\in (0,T); \] with coefficients \(a^\varepsilon_{ij}(x)\) depending on a small parameter \(\varepsilon\) is considered. We suppose that \(a^\varepsilon_{ij}(x)\) are of the order of \(\varepsilon^{3+\gamma}(0\leq \gamma < 1)\) on a set of spherical annuluses \(G_\varepsilon^\alpha\) of thickness \(d_\varepsilon=d\varepsilon^{2+\gamma}\). The annuluses are periodically with a period \(\varepsilon\) distributed in \(\Omega\). On the set \(\Omega\backslash U_\alpha G^\alpha_\varepsilon\) these coefficients are constants.We study the asymptotical behaviour of the solutions \(u^\varepsilon(x,t)\) of the problem as \(\varepsilon\to 0\). It is shown that the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions is described by a system of a parabolic p.d.e. coupled with an o.d.e.
