Original abstract

We introduce an interface multicontinuum homogenization method (I-MCHM) for high-contrast elliptic problems whose subdomains may have distinct microscopic patterns and unequal numbers of continua. Multicontinuum models upscale microscopic fields to macroscopic continuum quantities; here the continua are the high- and low-permeability regions, and the macroscopic variables are the corresponding local averages of the fine-scale solution on observing cells of size $H_ε$. Although the fine-scale solution is continuous across a material interface, these macroscopic continuum fields need not coincide on the interface. Moreover, when adjacent subdomains retain different numbers of continua, a one-to-one coarse transmission condition cannot be defined. Standard subdomain-wise multicontinuum homogenization therefore determines the bulk equations but leaves the interaction among these coarse variables unspecified. I-MCHM closes this gap by constructing two-sided constrained local bases on interface neighborhoods and assembling a coarse bilinear form with bulk cut-cell integrals and interface-segment corrections over the subdomain adjacency graph, without prescribing a pointwise transmission law. Numerical experiments on straight, curved, and triple-junction geometries, including continuum-coupling ablations and unequal continuum counts, demonstrate the accuracy of the resulting upscaled model.
