Abstract

This article is devoted to obtain the Γ\Gamma-limit, as ϵ\epsilon tends to zero, of the family of functionals Fϵ(u)=Ωf(x,xϵ,...,xϵn,u(x))dxF_{\epsilon}(u)=\int_{\Omega}f\Bigl(x,\frac{x}{\epsilon},..., \frac{x}{\epsilon^n},\nabla u(x)\Bigr)dx, where f=f(x,y1,...,yn,z)f=f(x,y^1,...,y^n,z) is periodic in y1,...,yny^1,...,y^n, convex in zz and satisfies a very weak regularity assumption with respect to x,y1,...,ynx,y^1,...,y^n. We approach the problem using the multiscale Young measures.
