Cache optimization for structured and unstructured grid multigrid.
This paper concerns the composite grid finite element (FE) method for solving boundary value problems in the cases which require local grid refinement for enhancing the approximating properties of the corresponding FE space. A special interest is given to iterative methods based on natural decomposition of the space of unknowns and to the implementation of both the composite grid FEM and the iterative procedures for its solution. The implementation is important for gaining all benefits of the described...
In this paper, the convergence of a Neumann-Dirichlet algorithm to approximate Coulomb's contact problem between two elastic bodies is proved in a continuous setting. In this algorithm, the natural interface between the two bodies is retained as a decomposition zone.
We extend the analysis of the recently proposed nonlinear EIS scheme applied to the partial eigenvalue problem. We address the case where the Rayleigh quotient iteration is used as the smoother on the fine-level. Unlike in our previous theoretical results, where the smoother given by the linear inverse power method is assumed, we prove nonlinear speed-up when the approximation becomes close to the exact solution. The speed-up is cubic. Unlike existent convergence estimates for the Rayleigh quotient...
This paper is concerned with the coupling of two models for the propagation of particles in scattering media. The first model is a linear transport equation of Boltzmann type posed in the phase space (position and velocity). It accurately describes the physics but is very expensive to solve. The second model is a diffusion equation posed in the physical space. It is only valid in areas of high scattering, weak absorption, and smooth physical coefficients, but its numerical solution is much cheaper...
