(eng): Nonlinear problems are ubiquitous in a variety of areas, including fluid dynamics, biomechanics, viscoelasticity and finance, to name a few. A number of computational methods exist already for solving such problems, with the general approach being Newton-Krylov type methods coupled with an appropriate preconditioner. However, it is known that the strongest nonlinearity in a domain can directly impact the convergence of Newton-type algorithms. Therefore, local nonlinearities may have a direct impact on the global convergence of Newton’s method, as illustrated in both [3] and [5]. Consequently, Newton-Krylov approaches can be expected to struggle when faced with domains containing local nonlinearities.
