Abstract:

In this paper, we consider the linear systems arising from the standard finite element discretizations of certain second order anisotropic problems. We study the performance of a V-cycle multigrid method applied to the finite element equations. Since the usual "regularity and approximation " assumption does not hold for the anisotropic finite element problems, the standard multigrid convergence theory cannot be applied directly. In this paper, a modification of the theory of Braess and Hackbusch will be presented. We show that the V-cycle multigrid iteration with a line smoother is a uniform contraction in the energy norm. In the verification of the hypotheses in our theory, we use a weighted L
