We start from the discretized pressure equation and rely on the construction of subproblems with significantly fewer unknowns, describing the behaviour of the solution of the fine-grid problem in suitable subspaces of the finite-element space. We utilize ideas known from multilevel methods such as operator-dependent interpolation and we clarify the part of Schur-complement approximations in the context of upscaling. We sketch several schemes for recursive approximation of the Schur-complement and report on the results of numerical experiments.}, ps = {http://wissrech.ins.uni-bonn.de/research/pub/knapek/upcg.ps.gz} }
