This paper concerns periodic multiscale homogenization for fully nonlinear equations of the form $u^\epsilon+H^\epsilon (x,\frac{x}{\epsilon},\ldots,\frac{x}{epsilon^k},Du^\epsilon,D^2u^\epsilon)=0$. The operators $H^\epsilon$ are a regular perturbations of some uniformly elliptic, convex operator $H$. As $\epsilon\to 0^+$, the solutions $u^\epsilon$ converge locally uniformly to the solution $u$ of a suitably defined effective problem. The purpose of this paper is to obtain an estimate of the corresponding rate of convergence. Finally, some examples are discussed.
Keywords: Nonlinear elliptic equations, rate of convergence., multiscale homogenization, Bellman equations.
