Multiscale approach for stochastic elliptic equations in heterogeneous media.

This paper presents a multiscale analysis for stochastic elliptic equations in heterogeneous media. The main contributions are threefold: derive the convergence rate of the first-order asymptotic solution based on the periodic approximation method; develop a new technique for dealing with a large stochastic fluctuation; and present a novel multiscale asymptotic method. A multiscale finite element method is developed, and numerical results for solving stochastic elliptic equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients are reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
