Abstract
This paper is intended as a survey of current results on algorithmic and theoretical aspects of overlapping Schwarz methods for discrete H(curl;Ω) and H(div;Ω)-elliptic problems set in suitable finite element spaces. The emphasis is on a unified framework for the motivation and theoretical study of the various approaches developed in recent years.
