Abstract

Time-dependent partial differential equations of parabolic type are described for which the influence of remote regions is practically negligible. This property of locality can be exploited in domain decomposition techniques to simplify the global matching relations among subdomains. This paper presents two spectral multidomain approaches for the solution of parabolic PDEs when only minimal communication between adjacent subdomains is required. A brief survey of some principal domain decomposition approaches for solving elliptic and parabolic problems is also provided.
