The Schur blocks of the coarse response, and their ordering #
The variational coarse block 𝐀(U; a) of s.introduction is carried here as a
BlockMat d over a plain subset of ℝ^d and a field of the
coefficient space, and its Schur data is read off the four corners by
schurSigma and schurSigmaStar. CoarseGraining's chapter 2 carries the same
object over a nonempty bounded open convex domain and a coefficient object with
its own ellipticity data, and names the same two matrices sigmaCoarse and
sigmaStarCoarse, extracted from the response functional rather than from the
corners. The ordering σ_* ≤ σ is proved there.
This file identifies the two readings, so that the ordering becomes available on the response of a field of the coefficient space.
Three steps. A field of the coefficient space is uniformly elliptic almost
everywhere on all of ℝ^d, so it is a coefficient object on every domain, with
the same representative: this is CoeffSpace.coeffOn. The two block matrices
then agree, because both are characterized by the same quadratic identity
μ(U, P; a) = ½ P · 𝐀 P for every doubled vector P, and that identity
determines the matrix. Finally, on the assembled form
𝐀 = (b, -kᵗ σ_*⁻¹; -σ_*⁻¹ k, σ_*⁻¹) the corner formulas are algebra: inverting
the lower-right corner returns σ_*, the Schur skew block is k once σ_*⁻¹
is invertible, and the correction kᵗ σ_*⁻¹ k subtracted from b returns σ.
A field of the coefficient space as a coefficient object on a domain #
The ellipticity constants a field of the coefficient space carries on a bounded open convex domain.
A field of the coefficient space, viewed as a coefficient object on a nonempty bounded open convex domain: the ellipticity constants are the ones the field carries on that domain, and the representative is unchanged.

The two readings of the coarse block agree #
The coarse response is the chapter 2 coarse block matrix. Both are determined by the same quadratic identity for the variational quantity.
Positivity on general domains #
The coarse response of a field of the coefficient space is positive definite on every bounded open convex nonempty domain: it is the chapter 2 coarse block matrix of the field read as a coefficient object on that domain.
The corner formulas #
The Schur skew block of the assembled block is k.
The Schur symmetric block of the assembled block is σ: the correction
kᵗ σ_*⁻¹ k is exactly what b adds to σ.
The Schur data of the coarse response #
The Schur block σ_* of the coarse response is the chapter 2 matrix
sigmaStarCoarse.
The Schur block σ of the coarse response is the chapter 2 matrix
sigmaCoarse.
The ordering #
The Schur blocks of the coarse response are ordered, σ_* ≤ σ, on every
nonempty bounded open convex domain and at every field of the coefficient
space.
The centered triadic cube □_m of s.introduction as a nonempty bounded
open convex domain.
The Schur blocks of the coarse response of a centered triadic cube are ordered, at every field of the coefficient space.
The aspect ratio of a realized coarse block is at least one. The Schur
ordering holds on the coarse response of a centered triadic cube, so the bound
of e.reference.aspect.ratio applies to it with no further hypothesis.
