Nonoverlapping domain decomposition preconditioners for discontinuous Galerkin approximations of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations (Q1703054)

The author is concerned with the study of the application of a commonly used class of nonoverlapping domain decomposition preconditioners to discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods as numerical solvers for linear nondivergence form elliptic equations and fully nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations with Cordes coefficients. He constructs the preconditioner (\(P\)) starting from the symmetric bilinear form associated to the problem (\(A\)), and show that the effectiveness of the preconditioner for solving the nonsymmetric problems can be studied in terms of the condition number \(k(P^{-1} A)\).
