Homogenization and multigrid

For elliptic partial differential equations with periodically oscillating coefficients which may have large jumps, we prove robust convergence of a two-grid algorithm using a prolongation motivated by the theory of homogenization.

Description
Summary:For elliptic partial differential equations with periodically oscillating coefficients which may have large jumps, we prove robust convergence of a two-grid algorithm using a prolongation motivated by the theory of homogenization. The corresponding Galerkin operator on the coarse grid turns out to be a discretization of a diffusion operator with homogenized coefficients obtained by solving discrete cell problems. This two-grid method is then embedded inside a multi-grid cycle extending over both the fine and the coarse scale.
