Title
A posteriori error analysis of the finite element heterogeneous multiscale method
Abstract
In this talk we discuss a numerical method, the so-called finite element heterogeneous multiscale method (FE-HMM), for the simulation of partial differential equations with multiple scales. In this method, the effective problem is directly discretized in a macroscopic finite element space. The fine-scale of the problem are accounted for in the macro-stiffness matrix by solving (on the fly) micro-problems in a scale-independent fixed-size domain within each macro-element. After reviewing some a priori error estimates, we will present recent results on a posteriori error analysis of the FE-HMM obtained for multiscale elliptic problems.
