An analysis of a class of variational multiscale methods based on subspace decomposition

Abstract

Numerical homogenization tries to approximate the solutions of elliptic partial differential equations with strongly oscillating coefficients by functions from modified finite element spaces. We present in this paper a class of such methods that are very closely related to the method of Målqvist and Peterseim [Math. Comp. 83, 2014]. Like the method of Målqvist and Peterseim, these methods do not make explicit or implicit use of a scale separation. Their compared to that in the work of Målqvist and Peterseim strongly simplified analysis is based on a reformulation of their method in terms of variational multiscale methods and on the theory of iterative methods, more precisely, of additive Schwarz or subspace decomposition methods.
