Abstract
This chapter shows computational techniques for finite element equations with fewer memory requirements. Domains having a class of symmetry are dealt with. Introducing domain decomposition into a union of congruent subdomains, we can reproduce finite element matrices in subdomains from the one in a reference subdomain. Orthogonal projections are used to treat essential boundary conditions and periodic boundary conditions, which make the domain decomposition independent of boundary conditions. These techniques drastically reduce required memory to store finite element
matrices.
