Abstract:

The $\Gamma$-limit of a family of functionals $$ u\mapsto \int{\Omega}f\left({\frac{x}{\varepsilon}},{\frac{x}{{\varepsilon}2}},Ds u\right)\, dx $$ is obtained for $s=1,2$ and when the integrand $f=f(x,y,v)$ is a continuous function, periodic in $x$ and $y$, and convex with respect to $v$. The $3$-scale limits of second order derivatives are cha
