Abstract
The asynchronous iterations are presented here
as a generalisation of the usual successive approximation method applied to
a fixed point mapping defined on a product space. Our aim is to give an
account about abilities of asynchronous iteration in the scope of various
parallel computational fields. Some comparison aspects with respect to other
computational techniques are presented.
The chapter ends with a new property about an asynchronous variable subdomains
decomposition method for second order elliptic problems, which can be
helpful with respect to dynamic load balancing.
