Abstract:

This talk will discuss a flexible construction of an appropriate coarse space for the NN-preconditioner that leads to a robust overall algorithm when tested on applications from automotive and offshore industries. The space is constructed from local contributions based on eigenanalysis of the subdomains, no geometric knowledge is therefore needed.
