Keywords:
algebraic multigrid; zero energy modes; convergence theory; finite elements; computational mechanics; iterative solvers
Summary:
We generalize the overlapping Schwarz domain decomposition method to problems of linear elasticity. The convergence rate independent of the mesh size, coarse-space size, Korn’s constant and essential boundary conditions is proved here. Abstract convergence bounds developed here can be used for an analysis of the method applied to singular perturbations of other elliptic problems.
