چکیده

For the solution of non-symmetric or indefinite linear systems arising from discretizations of elliptic problems, two-level additive Schwarz preconditioners are known to be optimal in the sense that convergence bounds for the preconditioned problem are independent of the mesh and the number of subdomains. These bounds are based on some kind of energy norm. However, in practice, iterative methods which minimize the Euclidean norm of the residual are used, despite the fact that the usual bounds are non-optimal, i.e., the quantities appearing in the bounds may depend on the mesh size; see [X.-C. Cai, J. Zou, Some observations on the l convergence of the additive Schwarz preconditioned GMRES method, Numer. Linear Algebra Appl. 9 (2002) 379–397]. In this paper, iterative methods are presented which minimize the same energy norm in which the optimal Schwarz bounds are derived, thus maintaining the Schwarz optimality. As a consequence, bounds for the Euclidean norm minimization are also derived, thus providing a theoretical justification for the practical use of Euclidean norm minimization methods preconditioned with additive Schwarz. Both left and right preconditioners are considered, and relations between them are derived. Numerical experiments illustrate the theoretical developments. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Additive Schwarz with Variable Weights

For Additive Schwarz preconditioning of nonsymmetric systems, it is proposed to use weights that change from one iteration to the next. At each iteration, weights for all earlier iterations are implicitly chosen to minimize the current residual. This strategy fits the paradigm of the recently proposed multipreconditioned GMRES. Numerical experiments illustrating the potential of the proposed me...

RASHO: A Restricted Additive Schwarz Preconditioner with Harmonic Overlap

A restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) preconditioning technique was introduced recently for solving general nonsymmetric sparse linear systems [1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11]. The RAS preconditioner improves the classical additive Schwarz preconditioner (AS), [10], in the sense that it reduces the number of iterations of the iterative method, such as GMRES, and also reduces the communication cost per iter...

Some Observations on the L Convergence of the Additive Schwarz Preconditioned Gmres Method

Additive Schwarz preconditioned GMRES is a powerful method for solving large sparse linear systems of equations on parallel computers. The algorithm is often implemented in the Euclidean norm, or the discrete l norm, however, the optimal convergence theory is available only in the energy norm (or the equivalent Sobolev H norm). Very little progress has been made in the theoretical understanding...
