We build and analyze a substructuring preconditioner for the mortar method in the h-p finite element framework. Particular attention is given to the construction of the coarse component of the preconditioner in this framework, in which continuity at the cross points is not required. Two variants are proposed: the first one is an improved version of a coarse preconditioner already presented in [12]. The second is new and is built by using a Discontinuous Galerkin interior penalty method as coarse problem. A bound of the condition number is proven for both variants and their efficiency and scalability is illustrated by numerical experiments.
