Analysis of discontinuous Galerkin dual-primal isogeometric tearing and interconnecting methods
This provides theoretical guarantees for a method that handles non-matching grids and segmentation crimes in isogeometric analysis, but the analysis is limited to 2D and vertex primal variables.
The paper analyzes the dG-IETI-DP method for 2D problems with vertex primal variables, deriving quasi-optimal bounds for the condition number of the preconditioned system. The constant is independent of mesh size but depends on the ratio of meshsizes of neighboring patches.
In this paper, we present the analysis of the discontinuous Galerkin dual-primal isogeometric tearing and interconnecting method (dG-IETI-DP) for the two-dimensional case where we only consider vertex primal variables. The dG-IETI-DP method is a combination of the dual-primal isogeometric tearing and interconnecting method (IETI-DP) with the discontinuous Galerkin (dG) method. We use the dG method only on the interfaces to couple different patches. This enables us to handle non-matching grids on patch interfaces as well as segmentation crimes (gaps and overlaps) between the patches. The purpose of this paper is to derive quasi-optimal bounds for the condition number of the preconditioned system with respect to the maximal ratio $H/h:=\max_k(H_k/h_k)$ of subdomain diameter and meshsize. We show that the constant is independent of $h_k$ and $H_k$, but depends on the ratio of meshsizes of neighbouring patches $h_\ell/h_k$.
