Introduction Many elliptic boundary value problems that are solved in practice are linear and have constant (or at least piecewise constant) coefficients. In this setting, the boundary element method (BEM, [1–4]) has established itself as an effective alter- native to the finite element method (FEM). Just as in the FEM applied to this particular problem class, high order methods are very attractive since they can produce rapidly convergent schemes on suitably chosen adaptive meshes.

  • The Spectral Projection Decomposition Method for Elliptic Equations in Two Dimensions∗
    SIAM J. NUMER.ANAL. c 1997 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Vol. 34, No. 4, pp. 1616–1639, August 1997 015 THE SPECTRAL PROJECTION DECOMPOSITION METHOD FOR ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS IN TWO DIMENSIONS∗ P. GERVASIO† , E. OVTCHINNIKOV‡ , AND A. QUARTERONI§ Abstract. The projection decomposition method (PDM) is invoked to extend the application area of the spectral collocation method to elliptic problems in domains compounded of rectangles. Theoretical and numerical results are presented demonstrating the high accuracy of the resulting method as well as its computational efficiency. Key words. domain decomposition, spectral methods, elliptic problems AMS subject classifications. 65N55, 65N35 PII. S0036142994265334 Introduction. Spectral methods represent a relatively new approach to the nu- merical solution of partial differential equations which appeared more recently than the widely used finite difference and finite element methods (FEMs). The first at- tempt of a systematic analysis was undertaken by D. Gottlieb and S. Orszag in their celebrated monograph [16], while a more comprehensive study appeared only 10 years later in [7], where spectral methods were shown to be a viable alternative to other numerical methods for a broad variety of mathematical equations, and particularly those modeling fluid dynamical processes. As a matter of fact, spectral methods fea- ture the property of being accurate up to an arbitrary order, provided the solution to be approximated is infinitely smooth and the computational domain is a Carte- sian one. Moreover, if the first condition is not fulfilled, the method automatically adjusts to provide an order of accuracy that coincides with the smoothness degree of the solution (measured in the scale of Sobolev spaces).

An abstract theory of domain decomposition methods with coarse spaces of the GenEO family Nicole Spillane ∗ March 30, 2021 Keywords: linear solver, domain decomposition, coarse space, preconditioning, deflation Abstract Two-level domain decomposition methods are preconditioned Krylov solvers. What sep- arates one and two- level domain decomposition method is the presence of a coarse space in the latter. The abstract Schwarz framework is a formalism that allows to define and study a large variety of two-level methods. The objective of this article is to define, in the abstract Schwarz framework, a family of coarse spaces called the GenEO coarse spaces (for General- ized Eigenvalues in the Overlaps). This is a generalization of existing methods for particular choices of domain decomposition methods.

  • Hybrid Multigrid/Schwarz Algorithms for the Spectral Element Method
    Hybrid Multigrid/Schwarz Algorithms for the Spectral Element Method James W. Lottes¤ and Paul F. Fischery February 4, 2004 Abstract We study the performance of the multigrid method applied to spectral element (SE) discretizations of the Poisson and Helmholtz equations. Smoothers based on finite element (FE) discretizations, overlapping Schwarz methods, and point-Jacobi are con- sidered in conjunction with conjugate gradient and GMRES acceleration techniques. It is found that Schwarz methods based on restrictions of the originating SE matrices converge faster than FE-based methods and that weighting the Schwarz matrices by the inverse of the diagonal counting matrix is essential to effective Schwarz smoothing. Sev- eral of the methods considered achieve convergence rates comparable to those attained by classic multigrid on regular grids. 1 Introduction The availability of fast elliptic solvers is essential to many areas of scientific computing. For unstructured discretizations in three dimensions, iterative solvers are generally optimal from both work and storage standpoints. Ideally, one would like to have computational complexity that scales as O(n) for an n-point grid problem in lRd, implying that the it- eration count should be bounded as the mesh is refined. Modern iterative methods such as multigrid and Schwarz-based domain decomposition achieve bounded iteration counts through the introduction of multiple representations of the solution (or the residual) that allow efficient elimination of the error at each scale. The theory for these methods is well established for classical finite difference (FD) and finite element (FE) discretizations, and order-independent convergence rates are often attained in practice. For spectral element (SE) methods, there has been significant work on the development of Schwarz-based methods that employ a combination of local subdomain solves and sparse global solves to precondition conjugate gradient iteration.

    Optimal additive Schwarz methods for the hp-BEM: the hypersingular integral operator in 3D on locally refined meshes T. F¨uhrera, J. M. Melenkb,∗, D. Praetoriusb, A.

We consider surface triangulations consisting of triangles. The condition number is bounded uniformly in the mesh size h and the polynomial order p. The preconditioner handles adaptively refined meshes and is based on a local multilevel preconditioner for the lowest order space. Numerical experiments on different geometries illustrate its robustness. Keywords: hp-BEM, hypersingular integral equation, preconditioning, additive Schwarz method 2000 MSC: 65N35, 65N38, 65N55 1. Introduction Many elliptic boundary value problems that are solved in practice are linear and have constant (or at least piecewise constant) coefficients. In this setting, the boundary element method (BEM, [21, 35, 39, 31]) has estab- lished itself as an effective alternative to the finite element method (FEM). Just as in the FEM applied to this particular problem class, high order methods are very attractive since they can produce rapidly convergent schemes on suitably chosen adaptive meshes. The discretization leads to large systems of equations, and a use of iterative solvers brings the question of preconditioning to the fore. In the present work, we study high order Galerkin discretizations of the hypersingular operator.

  • Domain Decomposition Method for the H-P Version Finite Element Method Benqi Guo and Weiming
    TIC AM REPORT 97-15 August, 1997 Domain Decomposition Method for the h-p Version Finite Element Method Benqi Guo and Weiming Cao Domain Decomposition Method for the h-p Version Finite Element Method Benqi Guo * Weiming Cao t June 26, 1997 Dedicated to Professor Ivo Babuska on the occasion of his seventith birthday Abstract Domain decomposition method for the h-p version of the finite element method in two and three dimensions are discussed. Using the framework of additive Schwarz method, various iterative methods are described, with their condition numbers estimated. Further, to reduce the cost for solving the sub-problems on element interfaces, different inexact interface solvers are proposed. The effects on the overall condition number, as well as their efficient implementation, are analyzed. Key Words: domain decomposition, additive Schwarz method, condition number, h-p version. AMS(MOS) Subject Classification: 65F10, 65N30, 65N55 1 Introduction Domain decomposition method provides a powerful iterative and parallel solution technique for the large-scale linear systems arising from the finite element approximations. The basic idea behind the domain decomposition method is to decompose the approximation space in the finite element method into a number of subspaces, each of them corresponds to a specific set of geometric objects (subdomains or substructures), and then to correct the intermediate solution in every step of iteration on these subspaces separately. These corrections are equivalent to solve the subproblems with unknowns associated with the subdomains or substructures, which are much smaller in size than that of the original one and much easier to solve. Among many others, two primary concerns for the study of the domain decomposition method are: (1) the condition number of the iteration operator, which determines the total number of iteration to achieve a convergence criterion, and (2) the cost to solve the subproblems on the subspaces, which contribute directly to the overall cost of the iterative solutions.
