Abstract

We are investigating in this short note if and how the curvature of the interfaces influences the choice of transmission conditions in optimized Schwarz methods. We use two approaches: micro-local analysis, and the study of a circular model problem. We find that both approaches lead to transmission conditions which depend on the curvature, and that the transmission conditions based on optimization lead to better convergence than the ones based on micro-local analysis. We illustrate our findings with a simple numerical experiment.
