Preconditioned Iterative Solvers
for Anisotropic Diffusion Problems


Thursday, March 5, 2009
3:00 PM- 3:25 PM
Room 634 S&R1




Abstract: In this talk, we present a new algebraic multigrid preconditioner for strongly anisotropic diffusion problems. We analyze two test cases, develop coarsening algorithms, and show numerical results. The essential feature of our preconditioner is that the condition number of the preconditioned problem is independent of the mesh step size and equation coefficients.
