    A domain decomposition method with Lagrange multipliers and inexact solvers for linear elasticity (English)
    0 references
    A domain decomposition method with Lagrange multipliers for elliptic problems is considered by first reformulating the system of the finite element method as a saddle point problem with both primal and dual variables as unknowns. The resulting linear system is solved by means of block-structured preconditioners and a suitable Krylov subspace method. This approach enables the application of inexact subdomain solvers for the positive definite subproblems.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEIt is shown that the condition number of the preconditioned saddle-point problem is bounded independently of the number of subregions and depends only on the number of degrees of freedom of individual local subproblems. Numerical results are presented for a plane stress cantilever membrane problem.
