Abstract:

In this note we present a brief overview of variational methods to solve homogenization problems. The purpose is to give a first insight on the subject by presenting some fundamental theoretical tools, both classical and modern. We conclude by mentioning some open problems.

Keywords: Homogenization, calculus of variations, $\mathcal{A}$-quasiconvexity, representation of integral functionals
