Abstract

Many domain decomposition algorithms and certain multigrid methods can be described and analyzed as additive Schwarz methods. When designing and analyzing domain decomposition methods, we encounter special difficulties in the case of three dimensions and if the coefficients are discontinuous and vary over a large range. In this paper, we first introduce a general framework for Schwarz methods. Three classes of applications are then considered: certain wire basket based iterative substructuring methods, Neumann-Neumann algorithms with low dimensional, global subspaces and a modified form of a multilevel algorithm introduced by Bramble, Pasciak and Xu.
