The approach is based on techniques that are used in multigrid, such as matrix-dependent prolongations and the construction of coarse-grid operators by means of the Galerkin approxi\-mation. In numerical experiments we compare our multigrid-homogenization method with continuous homogenization, renormalization and simple averaging approaches.}, ps = {http://wissrech.ins.uni-bonn.de/research/pub/knapek/mghomo.ps.gz} }
