Abstract: We construct finite-dimensional approximations of solution spaces of divergence form operators with Linfty-coefficients. Our method does not rely on concepts of ergodicity or scale-separation, but on the property that the solution space of these operators is compactly embedded in H1 if source terms are in the unit ball of L2 instead of the unit ball of H1. Approximation spaces are generated by solving elliptic PDEs on localized sub-domains with source terms corresponding to approximation bases for H2. The H1-error estimates show that mathcalO(hd)-dimensional spaces with basis elements localized to sub-domains of diameter mathcalO(halphalnfrac1h) (with alphain[1/2,1)) result in an mathcalO(h22alpha) accuracy for elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic problems. For high-contrast media, the accuracy of the method is preserved provided that localized sub-domains contain buffer zones of width mathcalO(halphalnfrac1h) where the contrast of the medium remains bounded. The proposed method can naturally be generalized to vectorial equations (such as elasto-dynamics).
