Le Tallec, Patrick; Sassi, Taoufik Domain decomposition with nonmatching grids: Augmented Lagrangian approach. (English) Zbl 0849.65087 Math. Comput. 64, No. 212, 1367-1396 (1995). The authors consider the numerical solution of a second-order linear elliptic problem by a nonoverlapping decomposition technique. The constraint of displacement continuity at the interfaces is treated by a Lagrange multiplier method. The solution of this augmented Lagrangian formulation of the problem is constructed by a standard saddle-point algorithm. Finite element methods with matching and nonmatching grids are studied. The discrete algorithm converges linearly independent of the discretization step. A new preconditioner using fictitious overlapping and well adapted to three-dimensional elasticity problems is considered. The methods are tested by several numerical examples.
