Abstract
Some representations of the H1/2 norm are used as Schur complement preconditioner in PCG based domain decomposition algorithms for elliptic problems. These norm representations are efficient preconditioners. Here we g-ive a new matrix representation of this norm by a special sparse Toeplitz matrix. It contains only O(log(N)) nonzero entries at each row, where N is the number of rows. The special properties of this matrix assure that can be used as preconditioner. This is proved by estimating spectral equivalence constants and this fact has also been verified by numerical tests.
