Parallel Galerkin domain decomposition procedures for wave equation (Q2654193)

The authors extend parallel Galerkin domain decomposition procedures for the wave equation on a general domain. Two approximation schemes are established. They use implicit Galerkin procedures in the sub-domains, called integral mean parallel domain decomposition scheme, and explicit flux calculations on the inter-boundaries of the sub-domains, called extrapolation integral mean parallel domain decomposition scheme. \(L^2\) error estimates are derived for analyzing the convergence of these schemes. Results of some numerical experiments are presented.
