Analysis of two-level domain decomposition preconditioners based on aggregation

Marzio Sala (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

In this paper we present two-level overlapping domain decomposition preconditioners for the finite-element discretisation of elliptic problems in two and three dimensions. The computational domain is partitioned into overlapping subdomains, and a coarse space correction is added. We present an algebraic way to define the coarse space, based on the concept of aggregation. This employs a (smoothed) aggregation technique and does not require the introduction of a coarse grid. We consider...

Generic implementation of finite element methods in the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment (DUNE)

Peter Bastian, Felix Heimann, Sven Marnach (2010)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper we describe PDELab, an extensible C++ template library for finite element methods based on the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment (Dune). PDELab considerably simplifies the implementation of discretization schemes for systems of partial differential equations by setting up global functions and operators from a simple element-local description. A general concept for incorporation of constraints eases the implementation of essential boundary conditions, hanging...

A multilevel preconditioner for the mortar method for nonconforming finite element

Talal Rahman, Xuejun Xu (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

A multilevel preconditioner based on the abstract framework of the auxiliary space method, is developed for the mortar method for the nonconforming finite element or the lowest order Crouzeix-Raviart finite element on nonmatching grids. It is shown that the proposed preconditioner is quasi-optimal in the sense that the condition number of the preconditioned system is independent of the mesh size, and depends only quadratically on the number of refinement levels. Some...

Multiplicative Schwarz Methods for Discontinuous Galerkin Approximations of Elliptic Problems

Paola F. Antonietti, Blanca Ayuso (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper we introduce and analyze some non-overlapping multiplicative Schwarz methods for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approximations of elliptic problems. The construction of the Schwarz preconditioners is presented in a unified framework for a wide class of DG methods. For symmetric DG approximations we provide optimal convergence bounds for the corresponding error propagation operator, and we show that the resulting methods can be accelerated by using suitable Krylov space solvers....

Numerical simulations of glacial rebound using preconditioned iterative solution methods

Erik Bängtsson, Maya Neytcheva (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

This paper discusses finite element discretization and preconditioning strategies for the iterative solution of nonsymmetric indefinite linear algebraic systems of equations arising in modelling of glacial rebound processes. Some numerical experiments for the purely elastic model setting are provided. Comparisons of the performance of the iterative solution method with a direct solution method are included as well.

Mimetic finite differences for elliptic problems

Franco Brezzi, Annalisa Buffa, Konstantin Lipnikov (2009)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

We developed a mimetic finite difference method for solving elliptic equations with tensor coefficients on polyhedral meshes. The first-order convergence estimates in a mesh-dependent H 1 norm are derived.
