The aim of this thesis is to derive homogenization results for two different types of systems of nonlinear parabolic equations, namely reaction-diffusion systems involving different diffusion length scales and Cahn–Hilliard-type equations. The coefficient functions of the considered parabolic equations are periodically oscillating with period ε, where the parameter ε denotes the ratio between the charactersitic microscopic and macroscopic length scales. In addition, the coefficients depend in a possibly discontinuous manner on the macroscopic scale so that real heterogeneities are allowed. In view of greater structural insight and less computational effort, it is our aim to rigorously derive effective equations as ε tends to zero such that solutions of the original model converge to solutions of the effective model. To account for the periodic microstructure as well as for the different diffusion length scales, we employ the method of two-scale convergence via periodic unfolding. In the first part of the thesis, we consider reaction-diffusion systems, where for some species the diffusion length scale is of order O(1) and for other species it is of order O(ε). The reaction terms are globally Lipschitz continuous, however, they are in general not the gradient of a given potential. The different diffusivities accompany a loss of compactness such that we cannot pass directly to the limit as ε tends to zero with the nonlinear terms. Based on the notion of strong two-scale convergence, we prove that the effective model is a two-scale reaction-diffusion system depending on the macroscopic and the microscopic scale. In the first step of the proof, we derive Gronwall-type estimates with error terms, and in the second step, we control these errors as ε tends to zero. Our approach supplies explicit rates for the convergence of the solution of the original model to the solution of the effective model. In the second part, we consider Cahn–Hilliard-type equations with position-dependent mobilities and general potentials. It is well-known that the classical Cahn–Hilliard equation admits a gradient structure which consits of a λ-convex energy functional and a quadratic dissipation potential. Using this gradient structure, we reformulate the parabolic equation via variational inequalities or via the energy-dissipation principle. Based on the Γ-convergence of the energies and the dissipation potentials, we prove evolutionary Γconvergence, short E-convergence, for the associated gradient systems such that we obtain in the limit as ε tends to zero a Cahn–Hilliard equation with effective (homogenized) coefficients. Moreover, we provide one exemplary potential such that the associated energy functional is not λ-convex and yet we prove E-convergence via the energy-dissipation principle.
