## Abstract This Letter, proposes an algebraic domain decomposition algorithm (ADDA) to solve large sparse linear systems derived from the vector finiteโelement method (FEM) for 3D electromagnetic field problems. The proposed method segments the problem into several smaller pieces, solves each subp

โฆ Synopsis
An ecient algorithm is developed for automatic partitioning of unstructured meshes for the parallel solution of problems in the ยฎnite element method. The algorithm partitions a domain into subdomains with approximately equal loads and good aspect ratios, while the interface nodes are conยฎned to the smallest possible.

This paper studies and compares the domain partitioning algorithms presented by Farhat, Al-Nasra and Nguyen, Malone, and Simon/Hsieh et al. for load balancing in parallel finite element analysis. Both the strengths and weaknesses of these algorithms are discussed. Some possible improvements to the p
