Augmented Stokes flow problems with the periodic boundary condition and the immersed solid body as constraints have been investigated, which form a class of highly constrained saddle point problems mathematically. By solving the generalized eigenvalue problem based on block reduction of the discrete systems, we investigate structures of the solution space and its sub- spaces and propose the exact form of the block preconditioner. The exact Schur complement using the fun- damental solution has been proposed to implement the block-preconditioning problem with constraints. Additionally, the algebraic multigrid method and the diagonally scaled conjugate gradient method are applied to the preconditioning sub-block system and a Krylov subspace method (MINRES) is employed as an outer solver. We report the performance of the present solver through example problems in 2D and 3D, in comparison with the approximate Schur complement method. We show that the number of iterations to reach the convergence is independent of the problem size, which implies that the performance of the present iterative solver is close to O(N).

    Fourteenth International Conference on Domain Decomposition Methods Editors: Ismael Herrera , David E. Keyes, Olof B. Widlund, Robert Yates c 2003 DDM.org 38. A preconditioner for the Schur complement domain decomposition method J.-M. Cros 1 1. Introduction. This paper presents a preconditioner for the Schur complement domain decomposition method inspired by the dual-primal FETI method [4]. Indeed the proposed method enforces the continuity of the preconditioned gradient at cross-points di- rectly by a reformulation of the classical Neumann-Neumann preconditioner. In the case of elasticity problems discretized by finite elements, the degrees of freedom corresponding to the cross-points coming from domain decomposition, in the stiffness matrix, are separated from the rest. Elimination of the remaining degrees of freedom results in a Schur complement ma- trix for the cross-points. This assembled matrix represents the coarse problem. The method is not mathematically optimal as shown by numerical results but its use is rather economical. The paper is organized as follows: in sections 2 and 3, the Schur complement method and the formulation of the Neumann-Neumann preconditioner are briefly recalled to introduce the notations. Section 4 is devoted to the reformulation of the Neumann-Neumann precon- ditioner. In section 5, the proposed method is compared with other domain decomposition methods such as generalized Neumann-Neumann algorithm [7][9], one-level FETI method [5] and dual-primal FETI method. Performances on a parallel machine are also given for structural analysis problems. 2. The Schur complement domain decomposition method.

  • Facts from Linear Algebra
    Appendix A Facts from Linear Algebra Abstract We introduce the notation of vector and matrices (cf. Section A.1), and recall the solvability of linear systems (cf. Section A.2). Section A.3 introduces the spectrum σ(A), matrix polynomials P (A) and their spectra, the spectral radius ρ(A), and its properties. Block structures are introduced in Section A.4. Subjects of Section A.5 are orthogonal and orthonormal vectors, orthogonalisation, the QR method, and orthogonal projections. Section A.6 is devoted to the Schur normal form (§A.6.1) and the Jordan normal form (§A.6.2). Diagonalisability is discussed in §A.6.3. Finally, in §A.6.4, the singular value decomposition is explained. A.1 Notation for Vectors and Matrices We recall that the field K denotes either R or C. Given a finite index set I, the linear I space of all vectors x =(xi)i∈I with xi ∈ K is denoted by K . The corresponding square matrices form the space KI×I . KI×J with another index set J describes rectangular matrices mapping KJ into KI . The linear subspace of a vector space V spanned by the vectors {xα ∈V : α ∈ I} is denoted and defined by α α span{x : α ∈ I} := aαx : aα ∈ K . α∈I I×I T Let A =(aαβ)α,β∈I ∈ K . Then A =(aβα)α,β∈I denotes the transposed H matrix, while A =(aβα)α,β∈I is the adjoint (or Hermitian transposed) matrix. T H Note that A = A holds if K = R . Since (x1,x2,...) indicates a row vector, T (x1,x2,...) is used for a column vector.

Whatever the modelization may be, such an analysis leads to the solution to a family of large ill-conditioned linear systems. In this paper we study strategies to efficiently solve to linear system based on non-overlapping domain decomposition methods. We present a review of most employed approaches and their strong connections. We outline their mechanical interpretations as well as the practical issues when willing to implement and use them.

In a 1869-paper he proposed an alternating method to solve a PDE equation set on a complex domain composed the overlapping union of a disk and a square (fig. 1), giving the mathematical basis of what is nowadays one of the most natural ways to benefit the modern hardware architecture of scientific computers. In fact the growing importance of domain decomposition methods in scientific compu- tation is deeply linked to the growth of parallel processing capabilities (in terms of number of processors, data exchange bandwidth between processors, parallel library efficiency, and arXiv:1208.4209v1 [math.NA] 21 Aug 2012 of course performance of each processor).

Abstract Parallel iterative domain decomposition methods are an essential tool to simulate structural mechanics because modern hardware takes its computing power almost exclusively from parallelization. These methods have undergone enormous develop- ment in the last three decades but still some important issues remain to be solved. This thesis focuses on the application of dual domain decomposition to problems of linear structural dynamics and the two main issues that appear in this context. First, the properties and the performance of known a priori coarse spaces are assessed for the first time as a function of material heterogeneity and the time step size. Second, strategies for the efficient repeated solution of the same operator with multiple right- hand sides, as it appears in linear dynamics, are investigated and developed. While direct solution methods can easily reuse their factorization of the operator, it is more difficult in iterative methods to efficiently reuse the gathered information of for- mer solution steps. The ability of known recycling methods to construct tailor-made coarse spaces is assessed and improved.

    NONLINEAR PARALLEL-IN-TIME SCHUR COMPLEMENT SOLVERS FOR ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS SANTIAGO BADIA† AND MARC OLM‡ Abstract. In this work, we propose a parallel-in-time solver for linear and nonlinear ordinary dif- ferential equations. The approach is based on an efficient multilevel solver of the Schur complement related to a multilevel time partition. For linear problems, the scheme leads to a fast direct method. Next, two different strategies for solving nonlinear ODEs are proposed. First, we consider a New- ton method over the global nonlinear ODE, using the multilevel Schur complement solver at every nonlinear iteration. Second, we state the global nonlinear problem in terms of the nonlinear Schur complement (at an arbitrary level), and perform nonlinear iterations over it. Numerical experiments show that the proposed schemes are weakly scalable, i.e., we can efficiently exploit increasing com- putational resources to solve for more time steps the same problem.
