Overlapping additive Schwarz preconditioners for boundary element methods

Thanh Tran

Abstract: We study overlapping additive Schwarz preconditioners for the Galerkin boundary element method when used to solve Neumann problems for the Laplacian. Both the $h$ and $p$ versions of the Galerkin scheme are considered. We prove that the condition number of the additive Schwarz operator is bounded by $O(1+\log^2\frac{H}{\delta})$ for the $h$ version, where $H$ is the size of the coarse mesh and $\delta$ is the size of the overlap, and bounded independently of the mesh size and the polynomial order for the $p$ version.
