Coarse spaces for FETI-DP and BDDC methods for heterogeneous problems: connections of deflation and a generalized transformation-of-basis approach (Q2303345)

In the paper, the authors developed a theory for generalized transformation of basis method for the FETI-DP and BDDC methods. The use of such idea enhances the robustnesss. The result of the paper shows that the developed idea is comparable to the traditional method of deflation in terms of the conditional number of the preconditioned matrix. The proposed method can be used for heterogeneous problems and for the use of adaptive coarse spaces. Some numerical examples are used to demonstrate the theoretical results.
