Through a non-overlapping decomposition of the domain, our approach aims to target the resulting interface problem, allowing for the parallel computation of solutions in an efficient manner. As a major application of our work, we apply our results to the field of topology optimization, where typical solvers require repeated solutions of linear elasticity problems resulting from the use of a Picard approach.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-25T21:13:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "topology optimization", "parallel solution", "equations governing linear elasticity", "picard approach", "major application" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
