Domain Decomposition Method (DDM).

Abstract

This chapter concerns the use of domain decomposition (DD) methods for the surface integral equation (SIE)-based solution of time-harmonic electromagnetic wave problems. DD methods have attracted significant attention for solving partial differential equations. These methods are appealing due to their ability to obtain effective, efficient preconditioned iterative solution algorithms. They are also attractive because of their inherently parallel nature, an important consideration in keeping with current trends in computer architecture.
