Neumann-Neumann-Schur complement methods for Fekete spectral elements. (English) Zbl 1110.65113
Summary: For the iterative solution of the Schur complement system associated with the discretization of an elliptic problem by means of a triangular spectral element method (TSEM), Neumann-Neumann (NN) type preconditioners are constructed and studied. The TSEM approximation, based on Fekete nodes, is a generalization to non-tensorial elements of the classical Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre quadrilateral spectral elements.
Numerical experiments show that the TSEM Schur complement condition number grows linearly with the polynomial approximation degree, $$N$$, and quadratically with the inverse of the mesh size, $$h$$. NN preconditioners for the Schur complement allow to reduce the $$N$$-dependence of the condition number, by solving local Neumann problems on each spectral element, and to eliminate the $$h$$-dependence if an additional coarse solver is employed.
Numerical results indicate that, in spite of the more severe ill-conditioning, the condition number of the TSEM preconditioned operator satisfies the same bound as that of the standard SEM, i.e., $$Ch^{- 2}(1 + \log N)^{2}$$ for one-level NN preconditioning and $$C (1 + \log N)^{2}$$ for two-level balancing Neumann-Neumann preconditioning.
