A non-overlapping domain decomposition method for the advection-diffusion problem

The application of a non-overlapping domain decomposition method to the solution of a stabilized finite element method for elliptic boundary value problems is considered. We derive an a-posteriori error estimate which bounds the error on the subdomains by the interface error of the subdomain solutions. As a by-product, some foundation is given to the design of the interface transmission condition. Numerical results support the theoretical results. Furthermore, we adapt a recent result on a-posteriori estimates for singular perturbation problems in order to obtain an a-posteriori estimate For the discrete subdomain solutions.
