Arbogast, Todd; Xiao, Hailong A multiscale mortar mixed space based on homogenization for heterogeneous elliptic problems. (English) Zbl 1267.65192 SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 51, No. 1, 377-399 (2013). The authors are concerned with the classic linear second-order elliptic equation with a heterogeneous coefficient in a domain decomposition setting and in a mixed form. They take into account the effect of a fine scale on the solution (the pair, velocity and convergence) and define a new mortar space of functions. In this space, the pressure on each interface of subdomains is approximated using the homogenization theory. The introduced mortar space is based on polynomials, but it is itself nonpolynomial. A thorough convergence analysis and three numerical tests are carried out. They emphasize nonperiodic permeability fields. By these numerical examples the authors show that their mortar space performs better than purely polynomial-based mortar spaces.
