Sarkis, Marcus Nonstandard coarse spaces and Schwarz methods for elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients using non-conforming elements. (English) Zbl 0884.65119 Numer. Math. 77, No. 3, 383-406 (1997). Second order elliptic problems are solved using the simple nonconforming approximation simultaneously with the two-level domain decomposition method. For this iterative method the bound for the condition number grows only logarithmically with respect to the number of degrees of freedom in each subregion of the problem. This bound holds for two and three dimensions and is independent of jumps in the values of the coefficients and the number of subregions. The author introduces face coarse spaces and isomorphisms to construct the appropriate mapping between conforming and nonconforming spaces.
