Domain decomposition preconditioning for high order hybrid discontinuous Galerkin methods on tetrahedral meshes

Abstract

Hybrid discontinuous Galerkin methods are popular discretization methods in applications from fluid dynamics and many others. Often large scale linear systems arising from elliptic operators have to be solved. We show that standard p-version domain decomposition techniques can be applied, but we have to develop new technical tools to prove poly-logarithmic condition number estimates, in particular on tetrahedral meshes. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
