The talk discusses a re-interpretation of existing multiscale methods by means of a discrete integral operator acting on standard finite element spaces. The exponential decay of the involved integral kernel motivates the use of a diagonal approximation and, hence, a localized piecewise constant effective coefficient. This local model turns out to be appropriate when the localized coefficient satisfies a certain homogenization criterion, which can be verified a posteriori. An a priori error analysis of the local model is presented and illustrated in numerical experiments.
