Modified Neumann-Neumann methods for semi- and quasilinear elliptic equations

Engström, Emil LU and Hansen, Eskil LU (2023) p.1-22
Abstract
The Neumann--Neumann method is a commonly employed domain decomposition method for linear elliptic equations. However, the method exhibits slow convergence when applied to semilinear equations and does not seem to converge at all for certain quasilinear equations. We therefore propose two modified Neumann--Neumann methods that have better convergence properties and require less computations. We provide numerical results that show the advantages of these methods when applied to both semilinear and quasilinear equations. We also prove linear convergence with mesh-independent error reduction under certain assumptions on the equation. The analysis is carried out on general Lipschitz domains and relies on the theory of nonlinear... (More)
