Abstract This work is devoted to the development and analysis of a linearization algorithm for microscopic elliptic equations, with scaled degenerate production, posed in a perforated medium and constrained by the homogeneous Neumann–Dirichlet boundary conditions. This technique plays two roles: to guarantee the unique weak solvability of the microscopic problem and to provide a fine approximation in the macroscopic setting. The scheme systematically relies on the choice of a stabilization parameter in such a way as to guarantee the strong convergence in H 1 norm for both the microscopic and macroscopic problems. In the standard variational setting, we prove the H 1 -type contraction at the micro-scale based on the energy method. Meanwhile, we adopt the classical homogenization result in line with corrector estimate to show the convergence of the scheme at the macro-scale. In the numerical section, we use the standard finite element method to assess the efficiency and convergence of our proposed algorithm.

1 Introduction 1.1 Microscopic problem Let Ω ε be a Lipschitz perforated domain contained in a polygonal bounded domain Ω ⊂ Rd (d = 2, 3). In this sense, Ω ε possesses a uniformly periodic microstructure defined by a length scale ε. This ε is a small parameter (0 < ε  1) since the size of the pores are usually much smaller than the characteristic length of the reservoir. We are herein concerned with the asymptotic behavior in a stationary case of the function u ε : Ω ε → R that describes the spread of concentration of solutes dissolved in a saturated porous tissue shaped by the perforated domain Ω ε with a cubic periodicity cell Y = [0, 1]d
