Abstract

This paper deals with balanced domain decomposition by constraints (BDDC) method for solving large-scale linear systems of algebraic equations arising from the space-time finite element discretization of parabolic initial-boundary value problems. The time is considered as just another spatial coordinate, and the finite elements are continuous and piecewise linear on unstructured simplicial space-time meshes. We consider BDDC preconditioned GMRES methods for solving the space-time finite element Schur complement equations on the interface. Numerical studies demonstrate robustness of the preconditioners to some extent.
