β¦ Synopsis
this paper, we present a domain decomposition method, based on the general theory of Steklov-Poincare operators, for a class of linear exterior boundary value problems arising in potential theory and heat conductivity. We first use a Dirichlet-to-Neumann mapping, derived from boundary integral equation methods, to transform the exterior problem into an equivalent mixed boundary value problem on a bounded domain. This domain is decomposed into a finite number of annular subregions, and the Dirichlet data on the interfaces is introduced as the unknown of the asso ciated Steklov-Poincare problem. This problem is solved with the Richardson method by introducing a Dirichlet-Robin-type preconditioner, which yields an iteration-by-subdomains algorithm well suited for parallel computations.
The corresponding analysis for the finite element approximations and some numerical experiments are also provided.

A new domain decomposition method is presented for the exterior Helmholtz problem. The nonlocal Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) map is used as a nonreflecting condition on the outer computational boundary. The computational domain is divided into nonoverlapping subdomains with Sommerfeld-type conditions
A non-overlapping domain decomposition method with adaptive interface conditions is applied to parabolic initial-boundary value problems in the full range from diffusion-to advection-dominated problems. The basic discretizations are the discontinuous Galerkin method in time and a stabilized Galerkin
Parallelization of the algebraic fictitious domain method is considered for solving Neumann boundary value problems with variable coefficients. The resulting method is applied to the parallel solution of the subsonic full potential flow problem which is linearized by the Newton method. Good scalabil
