Abstract:
Combining subspace correction method with least-squares finite element procedure, we construct a new overlapping domain decomposition parallel algorithm for solving the first-order time-dependent convection-diffusion system. This algorithm is fully parallel. We analyze the convergence of approximate solution, and study the dependence of the convergent rate on the spacial mesh size, time increment, iteration number and sub-domains overlapping degree. Both theoretical analysis and numerical results suggest that only one or two iterations are needed to reach to given accuracy at each time step.
