An Algebraic Multigrid Preconditioner for a Class of Singular M-Matrices

نویسنده

  • Elena Virnik
چکیده

We apply algebraic multigrid (AMG) as a preconditioner for solving large singular linear systems of the type (I−T T )x = 0 with GMRES. Here, T is assumed to be the transition matrix of a Markov process. Although AMG and GMRES are originally designed for the solution of regular systems, with adequate adaptation their applicability can be extended to problems as described above.

Algebraic multilevel preconditioners with projectors∗

A new multilevel algebraic preconditioner for symmetric positive definite matrices is proposed. The projection and smoothing steps typical for textbook multigrids are replaced by a special coarsening algorithm which is based on orthogonal projectors onto kernels of subdomain matrices. The preconditioner is compared numerically with a few other multigrid preconditioners.

Adaptive Reduction-based Multigrid for Nearly Singular and Highly Disordered Physical Systems

Classical multigrid solution of linear systems with matrices that have highly variable entries and are nearly singular is made difficult by the compounding difficulties introduced by these two model features. Efficient multigrid solution of nearly singular matrices is known to be possible, provided the so-called Brandt-McCormick (or eigenvector approximation) criterion is satisfied, which requi...

Algebraic Tailoring of Discontinuous Galerkin p-Multigrid for Convection

This work presents an element-local algebraic approach to constructing coarse spaces for p-multigrid solvers and preconditioners of high-order discontinuous Galerkin discretizations. The target class of problems is convective systems on unstructured meshes, a class for which traditional p-multigrid typically fails to reach textbook multigrid efficiency due to a mismatch between smoothers and co...

An Evaluation of Parallel Multigrid as a Solver and a Preconditioner for Singular Perturbed Problems Part I: the Standard Grid Sequence

In this paper we try to achieve h-independent convergence with preconditioned GMRES ((13]) and BiCGSTAB ((18]) for 2D singular perturbed equations. Three recently developed multigrid methods are adopted as a preconditioner. They are also used as solution methods in order to compare the performance of the methods as solvers and as preconditioners. Two of the multigrid methods diier only in the t...

Biorthogonal Wavelet Based Algebraic Multigrid Preconditioners for Large Sparse Linear Systems

In this article algebraic multigrid as preconditioners are designed, with biorthogonal wavelets, as intergrid operators for the Krylov subspace iterative methods. Construction of hierarchy of matrices in algebraic multigrid context is based on lowpass filter version of Wavelet Transform. The robustness and efficiency of this new approach is tested by applying it to large sparse, unsymmetric and...
