Résumé

The convergence of a two-scale FEM for elliptic problems in divergence form with coefficients and geometries oscillating at length scale

ε ≪ 1

is analyzed. Full elliptic regularity independent of

ε

is shown when the solution is viewed as mapping from the slow into the fast scale. Two-scale FE spaces which are able to resolve the

ε

scale of the solution with work independent of

ε

and without analytical homogenization are introduced. Robust in

ε

error estimates for the two-scale FE spaces are proved. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical analysis.
