A Preconditioned Iterative Solver for
the Diffusion Equation in Heterogeneous Media


Thursday, March 26, 2009
3 PM- 4 PM
Room 634 S&R1




Abstract: Constructing preconditioners for the diffusion equation in highly heterogeneous media is a complex task. In this presentation, we will show one approach to construct a multilevel preconditioner for such media. The equation is discretized using the finite volume method. The constructed preconditioner is spectrally equivalent to the original matrix. Numerical results will be presented.
