Abstract: We consider the homogenization problem for the stochastic porous-medium type equation $p_t{u}^{e}psilon=Deltafleft(Tleft(fracxepight)om,u^{e}pight)$, with a well-prepared initial datum, where $f(T(y)om,u)$ is a stationary process, increasing in $u$, on a given probability space $(Om,mathcalF,mu)$ endowed with an ergodic dynamical system $T(y),:,yin{R}^N$. Differently from the previous literature cite{afs,fs}, here we do not assume $Om$ compact. We first show that the weak solution $u^{e}p$ satisfies a kinetic formulation of the equation, then we exploit the theory of "stochastically two-scale convergence in the mean" developed in cite{bmw} to show convergence of the kinetic solution to the kinetic solution of an homogenized problem of the form $p_{t}overlineu-Deltaoverlinef(overlineu)=0$. The homogenization result for the weak solutions then follows.
