Second order partial differential elliptic equations, with the matrix A(\(\epsilon)\) of coefficients depending on a parameter \(\epsilon\), are considered. In the framework of homogenization theory, the conditions are studied in order to obtain the convergence of the matrix A(\(\epsilon)\) as \(\epsilon\) goes to zero. Using the compensated compactness, the author proves that the set of matrices A(\(\epsilon)\) is compact with respect to the homogenization convergence. Moreover sufficient conditions on the limit matrix A(0) are discussed. Two proofs are furnished by the construction of a sequence of matrix A(\(\epsilon)\) which converges to A(0), in the homogenization sense. One of these proofs uses the explicit calculus of ellipsoidal coordinates.
