Accelerating convergence of an iterative solution of finite difference frequency domain problems via schur complement domain decomposition.

We show that iterative solution of Maxwell's equations using the finite-difference frequency-domain method can be significantly accelerated by using a Schur complement domain decomposition method. We account for the improvement by analyzing the spectral properties of the linear systems resulting from the use of the domain decomposition method.
