Abstract
Nguetseng’s notion of two-scale convergence is reviewed, and some related properties of integral functionals are derived. The coupling of two-scale convergence with convexity and monotonicity is then investigated, and a two-scale version is provided for compactness by strict convexity. The div-curl lemma of Murat and Tartar is also extended to two-scale convergence, and applications are outlined.
