"A Robust Coarse Space for the Neumann-Neumann Domain Decomposition Algorithm with Industrial Applications"

Petter Bjorstad

University of Bergen Bergen, Norway


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 cont ributions based on eigenanalysis of the sub domains, no geometric knowledge is therefore needed.
