Abstract
In this article, we present an original method for mesh partitioning based on a multilevel approach followed by a spectral method applied to the coarsened graph. Opposite to other mesh partitioning algorithms based on spectral method, our approach takes into account the number of nodes as a parameter in the coarsened graph, ensuring a higher quality of the partitions. In the case of planar meshes, we prove some theoretical results of this new coarse spectral bisection method related to this partitioning. The numerical experiments confirm the efficiency of this method on different test cases.
