Abstract: We consider the homogenization of the linear parabolic problem ρ(x/ε2)∂tuε(x,t)-∇·(a( x/ε1 , t/ε12 )∇uε(x,t))=f(x,t) which exhibits a mismatch between the spatial scales in the sense that the coefficient a( x/ε1 , t/ε12 ) of the elliptic part has one frequency of fast spatial oscillations, whereas the coefficient ρ(x/ε2) of the time derivative contains a faster spatial scale. It is shown that the faster spatial microscale does not give rise to any corrector term and that there is only one local problem needed to characterize the homogenized problem. Hence, the problem is not of a reiterated type even though two rapid scales of spatial oscillation appear.
