Convergence of the domain decomposition method for almost periodic solutions of transmission problems (Q2740271)

The authors consider the following transmission problem: NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \begin{aligned} u_t^{\pm }+L^{\pm }u^{\pm }=f^{\pm },&\quad (t,x)\in Q^{\pm },\quad u^-|_{\Sigma }=0, \\ [u]_{\Gamma }=\left[{\partial u\over \partial \nu }\right]_{\Gamma }=0, & \quad (t,x)\in\Gamma. \end{aligned} \tag{1} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Here \(L^+\) and \(L^-\) are uniformly elliptic and positive operators in \(\Omega^+\) and \(\Omega^-\) respectively; \(\Omega^-=\Omega \setminus \text{cl} \Omega^+\), \(\Omega \) is a bounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), the boundaries \(S:=\partial \Omega \) and \(\gamma :=\partial \Omega^+\) being sufficiently smooth; \(Q^{\pm }=\Omega^{\pm }\times \mathbb{R}\), \(\Sigma :=S\times \mathbb{R}\), \(\Gamma :=\gamma \times \mathbb{R}\); \([v]_{\Gamma }:=v^+|_{\Gamma }-v^-|_{\Gamma }\) is the jump of the function \(v^{\pm }\) on \(\Gamma \); \(\partial /\partial \nu \) is the co-normal derivative. The coefficients of \(L^{\pm }\) are assumed to be uniformly almost periodic in \(t\).NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe authors announce a result on the existence and uniqueness of Besicovitch (Stepanov) almost periodic in \(t\) solution to the problem (1) under the condition that \(f^{\pm }\) is the Besicovitch (Stepanov) almost periodic in \(t\) function. The estimate is also obtained for the convergence rate of the domain decomposition method which was suggested in the papers of \textit{V. G. Osmolovskij} and \textit{V. Ya. Rivkind} [U.S.S.R. Comput. Math. Math. Phys. 21, No.~8, 33-38 (1981; Zbl 0491.65056)], and \textit{T. E. Korovkina} [Ukr. Math. J. 41, No.~1, 983-986 (1989; Zbl 0698.65059)].
