Optimized Schwarz methods are based on optimized transmission conditions between subdomains and can have substantially improved convergence behavior compared to classical Schwarz methods. This is especially true when the method is applied to the Helmholtz equation, and better transmission conditions in form of perfectly matched layers have for example led to the new class of sweeping preconditioners. We present here for the first time a complete analysis of optimized Schwarz methods with…

Natural Domain Decomposition Algorithms for the Solution of Time-Harmonic Elastic Waves

This work proves that the classical Schwarz method is not convergent when applied to the Navier equations, and can thus not be used as an iterative solver, only as a preconditioner for a Krylov method, and introduces a new Schwarz method with adapted transmission conditions.

The influence of domain truncation on the performance of optimized Schwarz methods

It is proved here rigorously for a two-subdomain decomposition that the asymptotic performance of optimized Schwarz methods derived from an unbounded domain analysis still holds in the case of a bounded domain, but the constants in the best choice of parameters and convergence rate estimates are influenced by the domain truncation.

Closed form optimized transmission conditions for complex diffusion with many subdomains

This work investigates the optimization of transmission conditions directly for the many subdomain case, and studies the optimization problem in the limit when the number of subdomains goes to infinity, using the tool of limiting spectra.

The method of polarized traces for the 2D Helmholtz equation

We have developed a fast solver for the 3D Helmholtz equation, in heterogeneous, constant density, acoustic media, in the high-frequency regime. The solver is based on the method of polarized traces,…

A Class of Iterative Solvers for the Helmholtz Equation: Factorizations, Sweeping Preconditioners, Source Transfer, Single Layer Potentials, Polarized Traces, and Optimized Schwarz Methods

The goal of the present manuscript is to show that this class of preconditioners developed by researchers with various backgrounds are based on a common mathematical principle, and they can all be formulated in the context of domain decomposition methods called optimized Schwarz methods.

Towards Accuracy and Scalability: Combining Isogeometric Analysis with Deflation to Obtain Scalable Convergence for the Helmholtz Equation

Domain decomposition preconditioning for the high-frequency time-harmonic Maxwell equations with absorption

The theory developed here shows that if the absorption is large enough, and if the subdomain and coarse mesh diameters and overlap are chosen appropriately, then the classical two-level overlapping Additive Schwarz preconditioner performs optimally -- in the sense that GMRES converges in a wavenumber-independent number of iterations -- for the problem with absorption.

A two-level domain decomposition method for the iterative solution of the heterogeneous Helmholtz equation and a coarse space that is based on local eigenproblems involving the Dirichlet-toNeumann operator is developed.

Preconditioning the Helmholtz equation with the shifted Laplacian and Faber polynomials

It is proved that the Faber preconditioner is nonsingular for degrees one and two of the truncated series, which reduces the number of GMRES iterations.

Optimized Schwarz Methods without Overlap for the Helmholtz Equation

A variant of the Schwarz method which converges without overlap for the Helmholtz equation is studied, and it is shown that the key ingredients for such an algorithm are the transmission conditions, which lead to convergence of the algorithm in a finite number of steps.
