In this paper we propose a generalization of multiscale finite element methods
(Ms-FEM) to nonlinear problems.
We study the convergence of the proposed method for nonlinear elliptic equations and
propose an oversampling technique.
Numerical examples demonstrate that the over-sampling technique greatly reduces the error.
The application of MsFEM to porous media flows is considered.
Finally, we describe further generalizations of MsFEM to nonlinear time-dependent equations and
discuss the convergence of the method for various kinds of heterogeneities.
