A scalable domain decomposition method for FEM discretizations of nonlocal equations of integrable and fractional type
share
Nonlocal models allow for the description of phenomena which cannot be captured by classical partial differential equations. The availability of efficient solvers is one of the main concerns for the use of nonlocal models in real world engineering applications. We present a domain decomposition solver that is inspired by substructuring methods for classical local equations. In numerical experiments involving finite element discretizations of scalar and vectorial nonlocal equations of integrable and fractional type, we observe improvements in solution time of up to 14.6x compared to commonly used solver strategies.
