Parallel Newton--Krylov--Schwarz Algorithms for the Transonic Full Potential Equation
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NKS, combined with a density upwinding continuation strategy for problems with weak shocks, is robust and economical for this class of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic nonlinear partial differential equations, with proper specification of several parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, a parallel two-level overlapping Schwarz algorithm was proposed for solving nonlinear finite element problems, in particular for the full potential equation of aerodynamics discretized in two dimensions with bilinear elements.
