Abstract
We propose a Lagrange multiplier based decomposition method for a nonlinear sedimentary basin problem. Using an additional unkown, the sedimentary basin problem is restated as a linearly constrained minimization problem. The resulting Uzawa algorithm solves, at each iteration, one linear system with a constant (sparse) matrix. Numerical experiments on a model problem show that, for large scale problems, our method is more efficient than the classical Newton-Raphson method.


Résumé
Nous proposons une méthode de décomposition/coordination, avec coordination par multiplicateur de Lagrange, pour un problème non linéaire de bassin sédimentaire. A l'aide d'une inconnue additionnelle, nous reformulons le problème de bassin sédimentaire comme un problème de minimisation avec contraintes linéaires. L'algorithme d'Uzawa résultant résout, à chaque itération, un système linéaire dont la matrice (creuse) est constante. Des résultats numériques sur un problème modèle montrent que notre méthode est plus efficace que la méthode de Newton-Raphson, pour des problèmes de grande taille.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
