Abstract
SUMMARYMotivated by atomistic‐to‐continuum coupling, we consider a fine‐scale problem defined on a small region embedded in a much larger coarse‐scale domain and propose an efficient solution technique on the basis of the domain decomposition framework. Specifically, we develop a nonoverlapping Schwarz method with two important features: (i) the use of an efficient approximation of the Dirichlet‐to‐Neumann map for the interface conditions; and (ii) the utilization of the inherent scale separation in the solution. The paper includes a detailed formulation of the proposed interface condition, along with the illustration of its effectiveness by using simple but representative numerical experiments.
