A preconditioner for the FETI-DP method for mortar-type Crouzeix-Raviart element discretization. (Q489244)

In this paper the author extends the results of \textit{H. H. Kim} and \textit{C.-O. Lee} [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 42, No. 5, 2159--2175 (2005; Zbl 1080.65117)] to mortar-type Crouzeix-Raviart element discretizations. The mortar-type Crouzeix-Raviart element discretizations is described for second-order elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients. The FETI-DP operator is introduced, then a parallel preconditioner for the FETI-DP operator is proposed. Then the condition number bounds of the preconditioned problem is established. The author compares the proposed preconditioner with that of \textit{M. Dryja} and \textit{O. B. Widlund} [``A generalized FETI-DP method for a mortar discretization of elliptic problems'', in: I. Herrera (ed.) et al., Domain decomposition methods in science and engineering. México: National Autonomous University of México (UNAM). 27--38 (2003)]. Finally, numerical tests are presented in accord with the theory.
