✦ Synopsis
In this work, we introduce a somewhat unconventional ®nite element-based nonoverlapping domain decomposition method (the convenient space decomposition method (CSD)) for parallel computers that can be applied to a wide class of boundary value problems and which can only be implemented eciently, exclusively with primal variables, by means of the use of discontinuous elements. Interesting aspects and properties are pointed out along with proofs for the most relevant results. Numerical experiments for purely diusion problems are also presented in order to evaluate the eectiveness of the proposed scheme and to con®rm the validity of the related theoretical results.

An ecient algorithm is developed for automatic partitioning of unstructured meshes for the parallel solution of problems in the ®nite element method. The algorithm partitions a domain into subdomains with approximately equal loads and good aspect ratios, while the interface nodes are con®ned to the
