Symbolic techniques for domain decomposition methods

International audienceSome algorithmic aspects of systems of PDEs based simulations can be better clarified by means of symbolic computation techniques. This is very important since numerical simulations heavily rely on solving systems of PDEs. For the large-scale problems we deal with in today's standard applications, it is necessary to rely on iterative Krylov methods that are scalable (i.e., weakly dependent on the number of degrees on freedom and number of subdomains) and have limited memory requirements
