Hi guys, looking for the paper that introduced the concept of islands or explains them in enough depth to act as a reference. so far I haven't had much joy :/
Slow response on an old thread here, but maybe it is of interest to someone...
You can also look for splitting and blocking methods, and perhaps also spectral analysis in numerical linear algebra. This is about finding disconnected or weakly connected blocks in a large system of equations (i.e. a matrix problem), and as mentioned, this is often done using graph traversals.
These blocks or "islands" can then be solved independently and coupled using additive Schwarz.Statistics: Posted by KenB — Fri Aug 29, 2008 3:54 pm
