Edge Multiscale Methods for elliptic problems with heterogeneous coefficients

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed two new types of edge multiscale methods motivated by \cite{GL18} to solve Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) with high-contrast heterogeneous coefficients: Edge spectral multiscale Finte Element method (ESMsFEM) and Wavelet-based edge multiscale Finite Element method (WEMsFEM). Their convergence rates for elliptic problems with high-contrast heterogeneous coefficients are demonstrated in terms of the coarse mesh size $H$, the number of spectral basis functions and the level of the wavelet space $\ell$, which are verified by extensive numerical tests.
