[Analyse a posteriori de la discrétisation d'un schéma multi-échelles pour des problèmes d'homogénéisation]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 347 (2009) no. 17-18, pp. 1081-1086.

Dans cette Note, nous proposons une analyse a posteriori d'un schéma multi-échelles de type « micro–macro » pour des problèmes d'homogénéisation. Les paramètres du schéma macroscopique, inconnus à priori, sont obtenus pendant l'assemblage du problème homogénéisé à l'aide de schémas microscopiques. Le cadre que nous proposons pour l'analyse du schéma multi-échelles nous permet d'utiliser des techniques standards pour obtenir des indicateurs a posteriori par résidu de l'erreur. Ces indicateurs d'erreur permettent de mettre en oeuvre une stratégie d'adaptation du maillage.

In this Note we derive a posteriori error estimates for a multiscale method, the so-called heterogeneous multiscale method, applied to elliptic homogenization problems. The multiscale method is based on a macro-to-micro formulation. The macroscopic method discretizes the physical problem in a macroscopic finite element space, while the microscopic method recovers the unknown macroscopic data on the fly during the macroscopic stiffness matrix assembly process. We propose a framework for the analysis allowing to take advantage of standard techniques for a posteriori error estimates at the macroscopic level and to derive residual-based indicators in the macroscopic domain for adaptive mesh refinement.
