This volume presents in nine chapters a selection of some of the most important domain decomposition and substructuring methods. The main topics considered in the book include: the parareal in time algorithm, transformation methods, asynchronous iterative methods, asynchronous sub-structuring methods, asynchronous multi-splitting methods, parallel iterative methods, coarse grid conjugate gradient, multi-point constraints, approximate inverse preconditioning techniques, and congruent sub-domains.
F. Magoulès is a professor of high performance computing at the École Centrale?Paris.
