Abstract

The scattered data interpolation problem in two space dimensions is formulated as a partial differential equation with interpolating side conditions. The system is discretized by the Morley finite element space. The focus of this paper is to study preconditioned iterative methods for the corresponding discrete systems. We introduce block diagonal preconditioners, where a multigrid operator is used for the differential equation part of the system, while we propose an operator constructed from thin plate radial basis functions for the equations corresponding to the interpolation conditions. The effect of the preconditioners are documented by numerical experiments.
