Abstract

In this paper, we will discuss the mixed boundary value problems for the second order elliptic equation with rapidly oscillating coefficients in perforated domains, and will present the higher-order multiscale asymptotic expansion of the solution for the problem, which will play an important role in the numerical computation . The convergence theorems and their rigorous proofs will be given. Finally a multiscale finite element method and some numerical results will be presented.
