Non-overlapping Domain Decomposition for the Richards Equation via Superposition Operators
نویسنده
چکیده
Simulations of saturated-unsaturated groundwater flow in heterogeneous soil can be carried out by considering non-overlapping domain decomposition problems for the Richards equation in subdomains with homogeneous soil. By the application of different Kirchhoff transformations in the different subdomains local convex minimization problems can be obtained which are coupled via superposition operators on the interface between the subdomains. The purpose of this article is to provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for this reformulation in a weak sense. In particular, this involves an analysis of the Kirchhoff transformation as a superposition operator on Sobolev and trace spaces.

Domain Decomposition Algorithms for an Indefinite Hypersingular Integral Equation in Three Dimensions
In this paper we report on a non-overlapping and an overlapping domain decomposition method as preconditioners for the boundary element approximation of an indefinite hypersingular integral equation on a surface. The equation arises from an integral reformulation of the Neumann screen problem with the Helmholtz equation in the exterior of a screen in R. It is well-known that the linear algebrai...
متن کاملA Spatial Domain Decomposition Method for Parabolic Optimal Control Problems ?
We present a non-overlapping spatial domain decomposition method for the solution of linear–quadratic parabolic optimal control problems. The spatial domain is decomposed into non-overlapping subdomains. The original parabolic optimal control problem is decomposed into smaller problems posed on space-time cylinder subdomains with auxiliary state and adjoint variables imposed as Dirichlet bounda...

In this study we analyze a non-overlapping domain decomposition method for the solution of elliptic Partial Diierential Equation (PDE) problems. This domain decomposition method involves the solution of Dirichlet and Neumann PDE problems on each subdomain, coupled with smoothing operations on the interfaces of the subdomains. The convergence analysis of the method at the diierential equation le...
متن کاملRestricted overlapping balancing domain decomposition methods and restricted coarse problems for the Helmholtz problem
Overlapping balancing domain decomposition methods and their combination with restricted additive Schwarz methods are proposed for the Helmholtz equation. These new methods also extend previous work on non-overlapping balancing domain decomposition methods toward simplifying their coarse problems and local solvers. They also extend restricted Schwarz methods, originally designed to overlapping ...
متن کاملQuasi-Optimal Convergence of Non-Overlapping Domain Decomposition Algorithm for the Helmholtz Equation
This paper presents a new non-overlapping domain decomposition method for the Helmholtz equation, whose effective convergence is quasi-optimal. These improved properties result from a combination of an appropriate choice of transmission conditions and a suitable approximation of the Dirichlet to Neumann operator. A convergence theorem of the algorithm is established and numerical results valida...
