Nonlinear multiscale problems are ubiquitous in materials science and biology. Complicated interactions between nonlinearities and (nonseparable) multiple scales pose a major challenge for analysis and simulation. In this paper, we study the numerical homogenization for multiscale elliptic PDEs with monotone nonlinearity, in particular the Leray--Lions problem (a prototypical example is the p-Laplacian equation), where the nonlinearity cannot be parameterized with low dimensional parameters, and the linearization error is nonnegligible. We develop the iterated numerical homogenization scheme by combining numerical homogenization methods for linear equations and the so-called quasi-norm based iterative approach for monotone nonlinear equation. We propose a residual regularized nonlinear iterative method and, in addition, develop the sparse updating method for the efficient update of coarse spaces. A number of numerical results are presented to complement the analysis and validate the numerical method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
