Stabilization Techniques for Domain Decomposition Methods
with Non-Matching Grids


F. Brezzi, L. P. Franca, D. Marini, A. Russo


The Dirichlet problem with Lagrange multipliers is a common ingredient in domain decomposition methods with non-matching grids. We propose a new way of stabilizing it by means of bubble functions on the boundary. Static condensation allows the elimination of both bubbles and Lagrange multipliers, leading to a simple variant of Nitsche's scheme.
