Error estimate of the second-order homogenization for divergence-type nonlinear elliptic equation

Abstract: Second-order two-scale expansions, a unified proof for the regularity of the correctors based on the translation invariant and a lemma for extracting $O(\epsilon)$ from the remainder term are presented for the second order nonlinear elliptic equation with rapidly oscillating coefficients. If the data are smooth enough, the error of the zero-order (or energy) in $L^\infty$, first-order in the H\"older norm, (linear periodic case)second-order's(even first-order's) gradient (or flux) in the maximum norm,are locally $O(\epsilon)$. It can be used in the parabolic equation.
