Abstract For a family of elliptic operators with periodically oscillating coefficients, $-{\rm div}(A(\cdot /\varepsilon ) abla )$ with tiny ε > 0, we comprehensively study the first-order expansions of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions (eigenspaces) for both the Dirichlet and Neumann problems in bounded, smooth and strictly convex domains (or more general domains of finite type). A new first-order correction term is introduced to derive the expansion of eigenfunctions in L 2 or $H^1_{\rm loc}$ . Our results rely on the recent progress on the homogenization of boundary layer problems.
