The mortar element method for nonselfadjoint parabolic problem (Q5937476)

The purpose of this paper is to study the mortar element method for nonselfadjoint parabolic problems, obtained by using implicit scheme such as the backward Euler scheme and the Crank-Nicolson scheme in the time variable, and the mortar element approximation in the space variables. The uniform convergence of the solution for the mortar element method is proved without regularity assumption. Meanwhile the error estimate is obtained under certain smoothness hypothesis. Further more, an additive Schwarz preconditioning method is proposed and the convergence rate for the preconditioned GMRES method is discussed without regularity assumption.
