Abstract

In this paper we consider an iterative substructuring method for solving system of equations arising from mortar Morley finite element discretization of a model fourth order elliptic problem in 2D. A parallel preconditioner for the interface problem is introduced using Additive Schwarz Method framework. The method is quasi-optimal i.e. the number of CG iterations for the preconditioned problem grows polylogarithmically as the sizes of the meshes decrease and it is independent of the jumps of the coefficients.
