contents In this paper, we study the homogenization of elliptic equations that combine a local part, given by the Laplacian with Neumann boundary conditions, and its nonlocal version, defined through an integral operator with a smooth kernel. These two components are coupled through an additional nonlocal operator also given by a smooth kernel. We consider a sequence of partitions of a fixed spatial domain into two regions - local and nonlocal - which are periodically distributed in space (with one of the regions consisting of small, periodically arranged holes). Depending on the relative location of the local and nonlocal regions, we obtain qualitatively different limit behaviors. When the local part of the equation is confined to the small periodic holes, the sequence of solutions converges to the unique solution of a limit system in which the local component vanishes, while the nonlocal part persists and splits into two distinct components. On the other hand, when the local part of the problem lies outside the holes, the limit system exhibits a homogenized local diffusion operator coupled with a nonlocal equation. Finally, we analyze an intermediate regime in which only part of the local diffusion survives in the limit, by considering configurations consisting of parallel thin strips instead of holes.
