Abstract

The goal of our paper is to introduce basis functions for the finite element discretization of a second order linear elliptic operator with rough or highly oscillating coefficients.The proposed basis functions are inspired by the classic idea of componentmode synthesis and exploit an orthogonal decompositionof the trial subspace to minimize the energy. Numerical experiments illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed basis functions.
