Uniform estimate and convergence for highly heterogeneous elliptic equations are concerned. The domain considered consists of a connected fractured subregion (with high permeability) and a disconnected matrix block subregion (with low permeability). Let ε denote the size ratio of one matrix block to the whole domain and let the permeability ratio of the matrix block region to the fractured region be of the order ε 2 . In the fractured region, uniform Hölder and uniform Lipschitz estimates in ε of the elliptic solutions are derived; the convergence of the solutions in L ∞ norm is obtained as well.
