Abstract

The multidomain technique for elliptic problems, that allows the fulfillment of the interface conditions by means of a suitable combination of the continuity of the solution and of its normal derivative, is considered. Some choices of this combination are investigated and, in particular, a choice that allows the solution of the multidomain problem through two solutions for each subproblem, is proposed. The scheme has been discretized with a collocation method and some numerical tests are reported. Moreover the method is compared with the more classical Dirichlet/Neumann one as well as with the capacitance matrix method.
