Abstract
A key computational ingredient in domain decomposition methods for scalar elliptic problems is the preconditioning of a discrete Steklov-Poincare operator defined on the union of the boundaries of each subdomain. This operator is norm-equivalent to a discrete fractional Sobolev norm-matrix of index 1/2. This norm-matrix is related to the matrix square-root of a certain generalised Laplacian operator defined on the subdomain boundaries. In this work we introduce a Krylov subspace approach to approximate the action of the inverse of such a norm-matrix in a sparse fashion. The resulting algorithm is shown to be optimal for preconditioning domain decomposition methods for elliptic problems. Numerical experiments demonstrate that it is also quasi-scalable.
