Abstract
We consider a class of mathematical models describing multiphysics phenomena interacting through interfaces. On such interfaces, the traces of the fields lie (approximately) in the range of a weighted sum of two fractional differential operators. We use a rational function approximation to precondition such operators. We first demonstrate the robustness of the approximation for ordinary functions given by weighted sums of fractional exponents. Additionally, we present more realistic examples utilizing the proposed preconditioning techniques in interface coupling between Darcy and Stokes equations.
