    Polyharmonic homogenization, rough polyharmonic splines and sparse super-localization. Houman Owhadi,∗ Lei Zhang,y Leonid Berlyand z June 13, 2013 Abstract We introduce a new variational method for the numerical homogenization of di- vergence form elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations with arbitrary rough (L1) coefficients. Our method does not rely on concepts of ergodicity or scale-separation but on compactness properties of the solution space and a new variational approach to homogenization. The approximation space is generated by an interpolation basis (over scattered points forming a mesh of resolution H) minimizing the L2 norm of the source terms; its (pre-)computation involves minimizing O(H−d) quadratic (cell) problems on (super-)localized sub-domains of size O(H ln(1=H)). The result- ing localized linear systems remain sparse and banded. The resulting interpolation basis functions are biharmonic for d ≤ 3, and polyharmonic for d ≥ 4, for the op- erator − div(a∇·) and can be seen as a generalization of polyharmonic splines to differential operators with arbitrary rough coefficients. The accuracy of the method (O(H) in energy norm and independent from aspect ratios of the mesh formed by the scattered points) is established via the introduction of a new class of higher- order Poincar´einequalities. The method bypasses (pre-)computations on the full domain and naturally generalizes to time dependent problems, it also provides a natural solution to the inverse problem of recovering the solution of a divergence form elliptic equation from a finite number of point measurements.

  • Flux Norm Approach to Finite Dimensional Homogenization Approximations with Non-Separated Scales and High Contrast
    Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 198 (2010) 677–721 Digital Object Identifier (DOI) 10.1007/s00205-010-0302-1 Flux Norm Approach to Finite Dimensional Homogenization Approximations with Non-Separated Scales and High Contrast Leonid Berlyand & Houman Owhadi Communicated by C. Le Bris Abstract We consider linear divergence-form scalar elliptic equations and vectorial equa- tions for elasticity with rough (L∞(), ⊂ Rd ) coefficients a(x) that, in particular, model media with non-separated scales and high contrast in material properties. While the homogenization of PDEs with periodic or ergodic coefficients and well separated scales is now well understood, we consider here the most general case of arbitrary bounded coefficients. For such problems, we introduce explicit and optimal finite dimensional approximations of solutions that can be viewed as a theoretical Galerkin method with controlled error estimates, analogous to classical homogenization approximations. In particular, this approach allows one to ana- lyze a given medium directly without introducing the mathematical concept of an family of media as in classical homogenization. We define the flux norm as the L2 norm of the potential part of the fluxes of solutions, which is equivalent to the usual H 1-norm. We show that in the flux norm, the error associated with approximating, in a properly defined finite-dimensional space, the set of solutions of the aforementioned PDEs with rough coefficients is equal to the error associated with approximating the set of solutions of the same type of PDEs with smooth coefficients in a standard space (for example, piecewise polynomial). We refer to this property as the transfer property.

The areas of research concentration of the faculty cover a broad spectrum of the applied mathematical sciences. Areas of scholarly activity include: Optimization, Statistics, Probability, Discrete Mathematics, Numerical Analysis, Operations Research, Computational Biology and Computational Mathematics. In 1999, as evidence of the department’s reputation, we were awarded a prestigious five year, one and a half million dollar grant from the Colorado Commission for Higher Education. This was the Center of Excellence Grant, for excellence in research and graduate education; unfortunately budget cuts forced a complete elimination of the funding in the final two years of the grant. It is the department mission to provide a quality education to all students at all levels, from service courses through the highest level of graduate instruction. During this year, the department awarded 20 undergraduate degrees, 11 Master’s and 3 Ph.
