We propose a generalization of the Neumann-Neumann algorithm for advection-
diffusion problems: the Neumann conditions are replaced by suitable Robin c
onditions. The method is first introduced and analysed in the case where th
e domain is partitioned into vertical strips, then generalized to an arbitr
ary decomposition. A coarse space procedure is proposed. Finally, numerical
results for bidimensional and tridimensional tests are given. (C) 2000 Els
