contents A domain decomposition method for the solution of general variable-coefficient elliptic partial differential equations on regular domains is introduced. The method is based on tessellating the domain into overlapping thin slabs or shells, and then explicitly forming a reduced linear system that connects the different domains. Rank-structure ('H-matrix structure') is exploited to handle the large dense blocks that arise in the reduced linear system. Importantly, the formulation used is well-conditioned, as it converges to a second kind Fredholm equation as the precision in the local solves is refined. Moreover, the dense blocks that arise are far more data-sparse than in existing formulations, leading to faster and more efficient H-matrix arithmetic. To form the reduced linear system, black-box randomized compression is used, taking full advantage of the fact that sparse direct solvers are highly efficient on the thin sub-domains. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our solver can handle oscillatory 2D and 3D problems with as many as 28 million degrees of freedom.
