Abstract: | We present some two-level non-overlapping additive and multiplicative Schwarz methods for a discontinuous Galerkin method for solving the biharmonic equation. We show that the condition numbers of the preconditioned systems are of the order O(

3) for the non-overlapping Schwarz methods, where h and H stand for the fine mesh size and the coarse mesh size, respectively. The analysis requires establishing an interpolation result for Sobolev norms and Poincaré–Friedrichs type inequalities for totally discontinuous piecewise polynomial functions. It also requires showing some approximation properties of the multilevel hierarchy of discontinuous Galerkin finite element spaces.This revised version was published online in July 2005 with corrected volume and issue numbers. |
