Metric-based upscaling

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We consider divergence form elliptic operators in dimension ngeq2 with Linfty coefficients. Although solutions of these operators are only H"{o}lder continuous, we show that they are differentiable (C1,alpha) with respect to harmonic coordinates. It follows that numerical homogenization can be extended to situations where the medium has no ergodicity at small scales and is characterized by a continuum of scales by transferring a new metric in addition to traditional averaged (homogenized) quantities from subgrid scales into computational scales and error bounds can be given. This numerical homogenization method can also be used as a compression tool for differential operators.
