Abstract

The 2-Lagrange multiplier method is a domain decomposition method based on solving Robin problems on the subdomains. In this paper we discuss the parallel implementation of the 2-Lagrange multiplier method with cross points, as introduced and analyzed for general domains in Drury and Loisel (Sharp condition number estimates for the symmetric 2-Lagrange multiplier method. In: Domain Decomposition Methods in Science and Engineering XX. Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering, vol. 91, pp. 255–261, 2013) and Loisel (SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 51(6):3062–3083, 2013). We present numerical experiments, performed on HECToR (High End Computing Terascale Resources), with different domains sizes and numbers of processors for a model problem on a square.
