Abstract

top
We derive the smoothed aggregation two-level method from the variational objective to minimize the final error after finishing the entire iteration. This contrasts to a standard variational two-level method, where the coarse-grid correction vector is chosen to minimize the error after coarse-grid correction procedure, which represents merely an intermediate stage of computing. Thus, we enforce the global minimization of the error. The method with smoothed prolongator is thus interpreted as a qualitatively different, and more optimal, algorithm than the standard multigrid.
