Abstract

In this paper a new cyclic matrix representation of the H–1/2 norm is presented. Its application as Schur complement preconditioning matrix requires only matrix-vector multiplication. The computational cost of this matrix-vector multiplication is O (N · log(N)) arithmetic operations, where N is the number of unknowns. The efficiency of the construction to elliptic problems has been verified by numerical tests. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
