Abstract

In this paper we develop are two-scale model for a nonlinear parabolic system. Assuming a rapidly oscillating inhomogeneity with period ε for one equation we carry out a formal periodic expansion to obtain a homogenized equation coupled to a local in time cell problem. We justify the expansion by deriving an error estimate between the original and the two-scale model and show numerical simulations, which confirm the analytically derived error estimate.
