Since the seminal contribution of Geymonat, M\"uller, and Triantafyllidis, it is known that strong ellipticity is not necessarily conserved through periodic homogenization in linear elasticity. This phenomenon is related to microscopic…
In this paper we consider a restricted class of convex polyominoes that we call Z-convex polyominoes. Z-convex polyominoes are polyominoes such that any two pairs of cells can be connected by a monotone path making at most two turns (like…

We prove a homogenization result for Hencky plasticity functionals with non-convex potentials. We also investigate the influence of a small hardening parameter and show that homogenization and taking the vanishing hardening limit commute.
This note gives a brief and `crash' introduction to the method of Homogenization with the use of wave equation and diffusion equation with periodic in space coefficients as instructive examples. We expose the method with the use of an…
