Multi-level Domain Decomposition Background

</H1>
|

|

<P>
|
||||
<I>Domain Decomposition</I> (DD) preconditioners, coupled with Krylov iterative
|
||||
solvers, are widely used in the parallel solution of large and sparse linear systems.
|
||||
These preconditioners are based on the divide and conquer technique: the matrix
|
||||
to be preconditioned is divided into submatrices, a ``local'' linear system
|
||||
involving each submatrix is (approximately) solved, and the local solutions are used
|
||||
to build a preconditioner for the whole original matrix. This process
|
||||
often corresponds to dividing a physical domain associated to the original matrix
|
||||
into subdomains, e.g. in a PDE discretization, to (approximately) solving the
|
||||
subproblems corresponding to the subdomains and to building an approximate
|
||||
solution of the original problem from the local solutions
|
||||
[<A
|
||||
HREF="node30.html#Cai_Widlund_92">6</A>,<A
|
||||
HREF="node30.html#dd1_94">7</A>,<A
|
||||
HREF="node30.html#dd2_96">15</A>].
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<I>Additive Schwarz</I> preconditioners are DD preconditioners using overlapping
|
||||
submatrices, i.e. with some common rows, to couple the local information
|
||||
related to the submatrices (see, e.g., [<A
|
||||
HREF="node30.html#dd2_96">15</A>]).
|
||||
The main motivation for choosing Additive Schwarz preconditioners is their
|
||||
intrinsic parallelism. A drawback of these
|
||||
preconditioners is that the number of iterations of the preconditioned solvers
|
||||
generally grows with the number of submatrices. This may be a serious limitation
|
||||
on parallel computers, since the number of submatrices usually matches the number
|
||||
of available processors. Optimal convergence rates, i.e. iteration numbers
|
||||
independent of the number of submatrices, can be obtained by correcting the
|
||||
preconditioner through a suitable approximation of the original linear system
|
||||
in a coarse space, which globally couples the information related to the single
|
||||
submatrices.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
<I>Two-level Schwarz</I> preconditioners are obtained
|
||||
by combining basic (one-level) Schwarz preconditioners with a coarse-level
|
||||
correction. In this context, the one-level preconditioner is often
|
||||
called `smoother'. Different two-level preconditioners are obtained by varying the
|
||||
choice of the smoother and of the coarse-level correction, and the
|
||||
way they are combined [<A
|
||||
HREF="node30.html#dd2_96">15</A>]. The same reasoning can be applied starting
|
||||
from the coarse-level system, i.e. a coarse-space correction can be built
|
||||
from this system, thus obtaining <I>multi-level</I> preconditioners.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
It is worth noting that optimal preconditioners do not necessarily correspond
|
||||
to minimum execution times. Indeed, to obtain effective multi-level preconditioners
|
||||
a tradeoff between optimality of convergence and the cost of building and applying
|
||||
the coarse-space corrections must be achieved. The choice of the number of levels,
|
||||
i.e. of the coarse-space corrections, also affects the effectiveness of the
|
||||
preconditioners. One more goal is to get convergence rates as less sensitive
|
||||
as possible to variations in the matrix coefficients.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
Two main approaches can be used to build coarse-space corrections. The geometric approach
|
||||
applies coarsening strategies based on the knowledge of some physical grid associated
|
||||
to the matrix and requires the user to define grid transfer operators from the fine
|
||||
to the coarse levels and vice versa. This may result difficult for complex geometries;
|
||||
furthermore, suitable one-level preconditioners may be required to get efficient
|
||||
interplay between fine and coarse levels, e.g. when matrices with highly varying coefficients
|
||||
are considered. The algebraic approach builds coarse-space corrections using only matrix
|
||||
information. It performs a fully automatic coarsening and enforces the interplay between
|
||||
the fine and coarse levels by suitably choosing the coarse space and the coarse-to-fine
|
||||
interpolation [<A
|
||||
HREF="node30.html#StubenGMD69_99">17</A>].
|
||||
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
MLD2P4 uses a pure algebraic approach for building the sequence of coarse matrices
|
||||
starting from the original matrix. The algebraic approach is based on the <I>smoothed
|
||||
aggregation</I> algorithm [<A
|
||||
HREF="node30.html#BREZINA_VANEK">1</A>,<A
|
||||
HREF="node30.html#VANEK_MANDEL_BREZINA">19</A>]. A decoupled version
|
||||
of this algorithm is implemented, where the smoothed aggregation is applied locally
|
||||
to each submatrix [<A
|
||||
HREF="node30.html#TUMINARO_TONG">18</A>]. In the next two subsections we provide
|
||||
a brief description of the multi-level Schwarz preconditioners and of the smoothed
|
||||
aggregation technique as implemented in MLD2P4. For further details the user

||||
