Abstract: This paper presents and studies an approach for constructing auxiliary space preconditioners for finite element problems using a constrained nonconforming reformulation, that is based on a proposed modified version of the mortar method. The well-known mortar finite element discretization method is modified to admit a local structure, providing an element-by-element or subdomain-by-subdomain assembly property. This is achieved via the introduction of additional trace finite element spaces and degrees of freedom (unknowns) associated with the interfaces between adjacent elements or subdomains. The resulting nonconforming formulation and a reduced via static condensation Schur complement form on the interfaces are used in the construction of auxiliary space preconditioners for a given conforming finite element discretization problem. The properties of these preconditioners are studied and their performance is illustrated on model second order scalar elliptic problems utilizing high order elements.
