Abstract
Tuning the alternating Schwarz method to the exterior problems is the subject of this paper. We present the original algorithm and we propose a modification of it, so that the solution of the subproblem involving the condition at infinity has an explicit integral representation formulas while the solution of the other subproblem, set in a bounded domain, is approximated by classical variational methods. We investigate many of the advantages of the new Schwarz approach: a geometrical convergence rate, an easy implementation, a substantial economy in computational costs and a satisfactory accuracy in the numerical results as well as their agreement with the theoretical statements.
