Cascadic multigrid preconditioner for elliptic equations with jump coefficients

Zhiyong Liu and Yinnian He

Abstract

This paper provides a proof of robustness of the cascadic multigrid preconditioner for the linear finite element approximation of second order elliptic problems with strongly discontinuous coefficients. As a result, we prove that the convergence rate of the conjugate gradient method with cascadic multigrid preconditioner is uniform with respect to large jumps and mesh sizes.
