Accelerating the convergence of Dynamic Iteration method with Restricted Additive Schwarz splitting for the solution of RLC circuits

Abstract: The dynamic iteration method with a restricted additive Schwarz splitting is investigated to co-simulate linear differential algebraic equations system coming from RLC electrical circuit with linear components. We show the pure linear convergence or divergence of the method with respect to the linear operator belonging to the restricted additive Schwarz interface. It allows us to accelerate it toward the true solution with the Aitken's technique for accelerating convergence. This provides a dynamic iteration method less sensitive to the splitting. Numerical examples with convergent and divergent splitting show the efficiency of the proposed approach. We also test it on a linear RLC circuit combining different types of circuit modeling (Transient Stability model and Electro-Magnetic Transient model) with overlapping partitions. Finally, some results for a weakly nonlinear differential algebraic equations system are also provided.
