A parallel, fully coupled, nonlinearly implicit Newton-Krylov-Schwarz algorithm is proposed for the numerical simulation of a magnetic reconnection problem described by a system of resistive Hall magnetohydrodynamics equations in slab symmetry. A key component of the algorithm is a restricted additive Schwarz preconditioner defined for problems with doubly periodic boundary conditions. We show ...

We construct and study a scalable overlapping Additive Schwarz-Richardson (ASR) algorithm for monotone nonlinear parabolic problems discretized implicitly in time. At each time step, the Additive Schwarz preconditioner is built using the linear part of the nonlinear operator, partitioning the domain of the problem into overlapping subdomains, solving local problems on these subdomains and solvi...

In classical Kirchhoff flow, an ideal incompressible fluid flows past an obstacle and around a motionless wake bounded by free streamlines. Since 1869 it has been known that in principle, the two-dimensional Kirchhoff flow over a polygonal obstacle can be determined by constructing a conformal map onto a polygon in the log-hodograph plane. In practice, however, this idea has rarely been put to ...

This paper is the second part of a study dealing with the application of a global-in-time Schwarz method to a one dimensional diffusion problem defined on two non-overlapping subdomains. In the first part, we considered that the diffusion coefficients were constant and possibly discontinuous. In the present study, we address the problem for spatially variable coefficients with a discontinuity a...

We discuss the design of parallel algorithms to solve elliptic problems on multi-clusters computers. Multi-clusters can be seen as two-level parallel architecture machines, since communication between clusters are usually much slower than communication or access to memory within each of the clusters. We introduce special algorithms that use two levels of parallelism and match the multi-cluster ...

In this paper, we present several domain decomposition preconditioners for high-order Spectral Nédélec element discretizations for a Maxwell model problem in H(curl), in particular overlapping Schwarz preconditioners and Balancing Neumann-Neumann preconditioners. For an efficient and fast implementation of these preconditioners, fast matrix-vector products and direct solvers for problems posed ...

The optimized Schwarz method and the closely related 2-Lagrange multiplier method are domain decomposition methods which can be used to parallelize the solution of partial differential equations. Although these methods are known to work well in special cases (e.g., when the domain is a square and the two subdomains are rectangles), the problem has never been systematically stated nor analyzed f...
