AbstractA second order elliptic problem with highly discontinuous coefficients has been considered. The problem is discretized by two methods: 1) continuous finite element method (FEM) and 2) composite discretization given by a continuous FEM inside the substructures and a discontinuous Galerkin method (DG) across the boundaries of these substructures. The main goal of this paper is to design and analyze parallel algorithms for the resulting discretizations. These algorithms are additive Schwarz methods (ASMs) with special coarse spaces spanned by functions that are almost piecewise constant with respect to the substructures for the first discretization and by piecewise constant functions for the second discretization. It has been established that the condition number of the preconditioned systems does not depend on the jumps of the coefficients across the substructure boundaries and outside of a thin layer along the substructure boundaries. The algorithms are very well suited for parallel computations.

We propose a BDDC preconditioner for the rotatedQ1finite element method for second order elliptic equations with piecewise but discontinuous coefficients. In the framework of the standard additive Schwarz methods, we describe this method by a complete variational form. We show that our method has a quasioptimal convergence behavior; that is, the condition number of the preconditioned problem is independent of the jumps of the coefficients and depends only logarithmically on the ratio between the subdomain size and the mesh size. Numerical experiments are presented to confirm our theoretical analysis.
