Abstract
In this chapter, some popular and well-known domain decomposition preconditioners
are described from an algebraic perspective. Specific emphasis is given to techniques
that are well-suited to the parallel solution of large-scale scientific applications and
industrial numerical simulations. Some computational aspects related to their parallel
implementation are also addressed. This chapter is not intended for specialists in
domain decomposition but rather for scientists who have some knowledge of linear
algebra and discretisation techniques and who would like an introduction to domain
decomposition.
