Cascadic Multigrid Method for Isoparametric Finite Element with Numerical Integration

The purpose of this paper is to study the cascadic multigrid method for the secondorder elliptic problems with curved boundary in two-dimension which are discretized by the isoparametric finite element method with numerical integration. We show that the CCG method is accurate with optimal complexity and traditional multigrid smoother (likesymmetric Gauss-Seidel, SSOR or damped Jacobi iteration) is accurate with suboptimal complexity.     

A cascadic multigrid method for a kind of semilinear elliptic problem

In this paper, we analyze a cascadic multigrid method for semilinear elliptic problems in which the derivative of the semilinear term is Hölder continuous. We first investigate the standard finite element error estimates of this kind of problem. We then solve the corresponding discrete problems using the cascadic multigrid method. We prove that the algorithm has an optimal order of convergence in energy norm and quasi-optimal computational complexity. We also report some numerical results to support the theory.

平面线弹性纯位移边值问题低阶非协调矩形元的Robust多重网格方法

1引 言 对于各向同性,均匀介质的平面线弹性问题,当Lamé常数λ→∞(泊松率v→0.5)时,即对于几乎不可压介质,通常的协调有限元格式的解往往不再收敛到原问题的解,或者达不到最优收敛阶,这就是所谓的闭锁现象(见[3],[7],[8]及[10]).究其原因,在通常的有限元分析中,其误差估计的系数与λ有关,当λ→∞时,该系数将趋于无穷大.因此为克服闭锁现象就需要构造特殊的有限元格式,使得当λ→∞时,有限元逼近解仍然收敛到原问题的解.     

L^2-ERROR OF EXTRAPOLATION CASCADIC MULTIGRID （EXCMG）

Based on an asymptotic expansion of finite element, an extrapolation cascadic multigrid method （EXCMG） is proposed, in which the new extrapolation and quadratic interpolation are used to provide a better initial value on refined grid. In the case of multiple grids, both superconvergence error in H^1-norm and the optimal error in l2-norm are analyzed. The numerical experiment shows the advantage of EXCMG in comparison with CMG.

A new type of full multigrid method for the elasticity eigenvalue problem

This paper introduces a new type of full multigrid method for the elasticity eigenvalue problem. The main idea is to avoid solving large scale elasticity eigenvalue problem directly by transforming the solution of the elasticity eigenvalue problem into a series of solutions of linear boundary value problems defined on a multilevel finite element space sequence and some small scale elasticity eigenvalue problems defined on the coarsest correction space. The involved linear boundary value problems will be solved by performing some multigrid iterations. Besides, some efficient techniques such as parallel computing and adaptive mesh refinement can also be absorbed in our algorithm. The efficiency and validity of the multigrid methods are verified by several numerical experiments.     

A cascadic multigrid algorithm for semilinear elliptic problems

Summary. We propose a cascadic multigrid algorithm for a semilinear elliptic problem. The nonlinear equations arising from linear finite element discretizations are solved by Newton's method. Given an approximate solution on the coarsest grid on each finer grid we perform exactly one Newton step taking the approximate solution from the previous grid as initial guess. The Newton systems are solved iteratively by an appropriate smoothing method. We prove that the algorithm yields an approximate solution within the discretization error on the finest grid provided that the start approximation is sufficiently accurate and that the initial grid size is sufficiently small. Moreover, we show that the method has multigrid complexity. Received February 12, 1998 / Revised version received July 22, 1999 / Published online June 8, 2000

Nonconforming finite elements and the cascadic multi-grid method

Summary. We derive sufficient conditions under which the cascadic multi-grid method applied to nonconforming finite element discretizations yields an optimal solver. Key ingredients are optimal error estimates of such discretizations, which we therefore study in detail. We derive a new, efficient modified Morley finite element method. Optimal cascadic multi-grid methods are obtained for problems of second, and using a new smoother, of fourth order as well as for the Stokes problem.

Asymptotic expansions of finite element solutions to Robin problems in H 3 and their application in extrapolation cascadic multigrid method

For the Poisson equation with Robin boundary conditions,by using a few techniques such as orthogonal expansion(M-type),separation of the main part and the finite element projection,we prove for the first time that the asymptotic error expansions of bilinear finite element have the accuracy of O(h3)for u∈H3.Based on the obtained asymptotic error expansions for linear finite elements,extrapolation cascadic multigrid method(EXCMG)can be used to solve Robin problems effectively.Furthermore,by virtue of Richardson not only the accuracy of the approximation is improved,but also a posteriori error estimation is obtained.Finally,some numerical experiments that confirm the theoretical analysis are presented.
