Domain decomposition methods constitute a fundamental strategy in numerical analysis, enabling the partitioning of large and complex computational problems into smaller, more manageable sub-problems.

The Reissner-Mindlin plate theory models a thin plate with thickness t. The condition numbers of finite element approximations of this model deteriorate badly as t approaches 0. An overlapping domain ...
