Purpose – Domain decomposition of finite element models (FEM) for parallel computing are often performed using graph theory and algebraic graph theory. This paper aims to present a new method for such decomposition, where a combination of algebraic graph theory and differential equations is employed. Design/methodology/approach – In the present method, a combination of graph theory and differential equations is employed. The proposed method transforms the eigenvalue problem involved in decomposing FEM by the algebraic graph method, into a specific initial value problem of an ordinary differential equation. Findings – The transformation of this paper enables many advanced numerical methods for ordinary differential equations to be used in the computation of the eigenproblems. Originality/value – Combining two different tools, namely algebraic graph theory and differential equations, results in an efficient and accurate method for decomposing the FEM which is a combinatorial optimization problem. Examples are included to illustrate the efficiency of the present method.
