Multi-level Schwarz Preconditioners

The Multilevel preconditioners implemented in MLD2P4 are obtained by combining
AS preconditioners with coarse-space corrections; therefore
we first provide a sketch of the AS preconditioners.

As previously noted, on parallel computers the number of submatrices usually matches
the number of available processors. When the size of the system to be preconditioned
is very large, the use of many processors, i.e. of many small submatrices, often
leads to a large coarse-level system, whose solution may be computationally expensive.
On the other hand, the use of few processors often leads to local sumatrices that
are too expensive to be processed on single processors, because of memory and/or
computing requirements. Therefore, it seems natural to use a recursive approach,
in which the coarse-level correction is re-applied starting from the current
coarse-level system. The corresponding preconditioners, called <SPAN CLASS="textit">multi-level</SPAN>
preconditioners, can significantly reduce the computational cost of preconditioning
with respect to the two-level case (see [<A
HREF="node24.html#dd2_96">20</A>, Chapter 3]).
Additive and hybrid multilevel preconditioners
are obtained as direct extensions of the two-level counterparts.
For a detailed descrition of them, the reader is
referred to [<A
HREF="node24.html#dd2_96">20</A>, Chapter 3].
