Some matrix based preconditioning techniques for PDEs defined on structured and/or unstructured grid

by Pawan kumar

The talk is mainly divided into two parts. First, the combination preconditioners on structued grid is discussed, and their properties and condition number estimates are presented for a model problem using Fourier analysis. In the second half of the talk, we will see how we could extend these methods to the unstructured grid case using non-overlapping domain decomposition framework. Numerical results will be presented for convection-diffusion problems and for some problems from the Florida matrix market collection.
