Abstract

Our aim is to present for nonlinear problems asynchronous multisplitting algorithms including both the basic situation of O'Leary and White and the discrete analogue of Schwarz's alternating method and its multisubdomain extensions and moreover their two-stage counterparts. The analysis of these methods is based on El Tarazi’s convergence theorem for asynchronous iterations and leads to a good level of asynchronism in each of the considered situations.
