We discuss a family of discontinuous Petrov–Galerkin (DPG) schemes for quite general partial differential operators. The starting point of our analysis is the DPG method introduced by [Demkowicz et al., SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 49 (2011) 1788–1809; Zitelli et al., J. Comput. Phys. 230 (2011) 2406–2432]. This discretization results in a sparse positive definite linear algebraic system which can be obtained from a saddle point problem by an element-wise Schur complement reduction applied to the test space. Here, we show that the abstract framework of saddle point problems and domain decomposition techniques provide stability and a priori estimates. To obtain efficient numerical algorithms, we use a second Schur complement reduction applied to the trial space. This restricts the degrees of freedom to the skeleton. We construct a preconditioner for the skeleton problem, and the efficiency of the discretization and the solution method is demonstrated by numerical examples.
