Multilevel Preconditioning for the Time-harmonic Maxwell Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
The numerical approximation of the solution of the time-harmonic Maxwell equations by a least-squares nite element discretization is discussed in this paper. Our emphasis lies in the eecient solution of the system of linear algebraic equations arising from the discretization. Additive multilevel preconditioning is analyzed theoretically and by computational experiments for a simple two-dimensional model problem.

Preconditioners for the discretized time-harmonic Maxwell equations in mixed form
We introduce a new preconditioning technique for iteratively solving linear systems arising from finite element discretization of the mixed formulation of the time-harmonic Maxwell equations. The preconditioners are motivated by spectral equivalence properties of the discrete operators, but are augmentation-free and Schur complement-free. We provide a complete spectral analysis, and show that t...
متن کاملOverlapping Schwarz preconditioners for indefinite time harmonic Maxwell equations
Time harmonic Maxwell equations in lossless media lead to a second order differential equation for the electric field involving a differential operator that is neither elliptic nor definite. A Galerkin method using Nedelec spaces can be employed to get approximate solutions numerically. The problem of preconditioning the indefinite matrix arising from this method is discussed here. Specifically...

متن کاملParallel Numerical Solution of the Time-Harmonic Maxwell Equations
We develop a fully scalable parallel implementation of an iterative solver for the time-harmonic Maxwell equations with vanishing wave numbers. We use a mixed finite element discretization on tetrahedral meshes, based on the lowest order Nédélec finite element pair of the first kind. We apply the block diagonal preconditioning approach of Greif and Schötzau (Numer. Linear Algebra Appl. 2007; 14...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Multilevel Method for Time-Harmonic Maxwell Equations with Singularities
We develop an adaptive edge finite element method based on reliable and efficient residual-based a posteriori error estimates for low-frequency time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations with singularities. The resulting discrete problem is solved by the multigrid preconditioned minimum residual iteration algorithm. We demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed method by extensive numeric...
