A method of finite element tearing and interconnecting and its parallel solution algorithm. (English) Zbl 0758.65075

A domain decomposition method for the parallel finite element solution of equilibrium equations is presented. The advantage of this method is that it requires less interprocessor communication than the classical method of substructuring on local memory multiprocessor systems.
