Abstract

We present in this paper a proof of well-posedness and convergence for the parallelSchwarz Waveform Relaxation Algorithm adapted to an N-dimensional semilinear heatequation. Since the equation we study is an evolution one, each subproblem at each stephas its own local existence time, we then determine a common existence time for everyproblem in any subdomain at any step. We also introduce a new technique: Exponential DecayError Estimates, to prove the convergence of the Schwarz Methods, with multisubdomains,and then apply it to our problem.
