Additive average Schwarz with adaptive coarse spaces: scalable algorithms for multiscale problems (1709.00452v2)

Abstract: We present an analysis of the additive average Schwarz preconditioner with two newly proposed adaptively enriched coarse spaces which was presented at the 23rd International conference on domain decomposition methods in Korea, for solving second order elliptic problems with highly varying and discontinuous coefficients. It is shown that the condition number of the preconditioned system is bounded independently of the variations and the jumps in the coefficient, and depends linearly on the mesh parameter ratio H/h, that is the ratio between the subdomain size and the mesh size, thereby retaining the same optimality and scalablity of the original additive average Schwarz preconditioner.
