Abstract: In this paper we give a general iterative method for the homogenization of elliptic problems in perforated domains with finitely many periodic scales. It is derived from a more general result, where only one (the biggest) scale is assumed to be ε‐periodic. For the smaller scales, only H0‐convergence is assumed. In the case of finitely many periodic scales, explicit formulas for the homogenized operators are obtained.
