Efficient implementation of the Localized Orthogonal Decomposition method

Abstract

In this paper we present algorithms for an efficient implementation of the Localized Orthogonal Decomposition method (LOD). The LOD is a multiscale method for the numerical simulation of partial differential equations with a continuum of inseparable scales. We show how the method can be implemented in a fairly standard Finite Element framework and discuss its realization for different types of problems, such as linear elliptic problems with rough coefficients and linear eigenvalue problems.
