The unit interval denotes here the Representative Volume Element (RVE), also called the periodicity cell. The classical result obtained through the asymptotic homogenisation theory is given by (2.71) for deterministic composites exhibiting two separate geometrical scales linked by the scale parameter ε - this is the weakest point of this approach. Sometimes ε is treated as a positive real number tending to 0 (practically an infinite number of the RVEs in the composite) and, alternatively, some small positive parameter. As it can be demonstrated, the essential differences are observed in these two models. Now, this parameter is treated as some real functions introduced as the wavelet function relating two or more separate geometrical scales of the composite. In contrast to the classical approach to the homogenisation problem, the multiresolution approach uses the algebraic transformation between scales provided by the multiresolution analysis to solve for the fine-scale behaviour and explicitly eliminate it from the equation.
