- Domain Decomposition Methods
Preconditioners for PDEs constructed from, possibly approximate, solutions of local and global subproblems. The subproblems are typically obtained from a geometrical decomposition of the computational domain into subdomains. - Iterative Substructuring Methods
- FETI Methods
A family of robust and highly scalable Schurcomplement methods with Lagrange multipliers. The solution is discontinuous until convergence, the normal derivative remains continuous. - Fast Solvers
- Parallel Computing
Shared memory and distributed memory parallel computing on multi/many-core computers, clusters and supercomputers (->TOP500). - Biomechanics, simulation of arterial walls, nonlinear finite element analysis of soft biological tissues.
