Abstract: In this paper, we study the convergence rates of solutions for second order elliptic equations with rapidly oscillating periodic coefficients in two-dimensional domain. We use an extension of the "mixed formulation" approach to obtain the representation formula satisfied by the oscillatory solution and homogenized solution by means of the particularity of solutions for equations in two-dimensional case. Then we utilize this formula in combination with the asymptotic estimates of Green or Neumann functions for operators and uniform regularity estimates of solutions to obtain convergence rates in Lp for solutions as well as gradient error estimates for Dirichlet or Neumann problems respectively.
