An interval arithmetic domain decomposition method for a class of elliptic PDEs on nonrectangular domains (Q1334791)

An interval arithmetic domain decomposition method for linear systems with interval coefficients is presented. The systems to be considered occur from difference methods for a class of semilinear elliptic boundary value problems on nonrectangular domains. The importance of the method consists in its application in globally convergent Newton-like methods for nonlinear problems. The arithmetic complexity of the method is discussed. Several numerical examples which provide illustrations of the capabilities and limitations of the method are given.
