The hierarchical basis multigrid method

Abstract: Summary. We derive and analyze the hierarchical basis-multigrid method for solving discretizations of self-adjoint, elliptic boundary value problems using piecewise linear triangular finite elements. The method is analyzed as a block symmetric GauB-Seidel iteration with inner iterations, but it is strongly related to 2-level methods, to the standard multigrid V-cycle, and to earlier Jacobi-like hierarchical basis methods. The method is very robust, and has a nearly optimal convergence rate and work estimate. I… Show more

“…In this paper we are able to prove that a sufficiently damped version of the V-cycle is almost robust in the sense that the rate of convergence depends at most on the number of levels. Our result is of the same quality as typical estimates known for the convergence rates of multigrid solvers without regularity assumptions on the continuous problem, see [1], [3] and [17]. Indeed, the situation without regularity assumptions and the situation for the FDMGM are comparable in their lack of the approximation property.…”

“…The solve operation corresponds to the smoother in multigrid. Note, however, that in ULsolve every unknown is involved in the solve operations of precisely one level (as in hierarchical basis multigrid, d. [2]). The implementation of cyclic reduction presented in this section clearly has a modular structure.…”

“…vVe assume two nested grids ("coarse" and "fine") and on the finest grid the new mesh points are ordered first and then the old ones. Now, as in the hierarchical basis multigrid method (HBMG; [4]), we use a transformation from the original matrix to another matrix that has a significantly lower generalized condition number. To this transformed matrix we apply a block Jacobi type of method.…”
