Multiscale approach for stochastic elliptic equations in heterogeneous media (Q2509902)

The authors consider the stochastic elliptic equation with rapidly oscillating coefficients given by \[ \begin{cases} -\frac{\partial}{\partial x_{i}}(a_{ij}^{\varepsilon}(x,\omega)\frac{\partial u^{\varepsilon}(x,\omega)}{\partial x_{j}})=f(x),\;(x,\omega)\in\Omega \times\Theta,\\ u^{\varepsilon}(x,\omega)=g(x),\;(x,\omega)\in\partial\Omega\times\Theta, \end{cases} \] where \(\Omega\subset \mathbb R^{n}\) is a bounded convex domain, and \((\Theta ,\mathcal{F},\mu)\) is a standard probability space. In the abstract, the authors write that the main contributions are threefold: derive the convergence rate of the first-order asymptotic solution based on the periodic approximation method; develop a new technique for dealing with a large stochastic fluctuation; and present a novel multiscale asymptotic method.
