Special Issue on Multilevel Methods
The Ninth Copper Mountain Conference on Multigrid Methods was held April
11-16, 1999, at Copper Mountain, Colorado, U.S.A. The major theme of this
meeting was "General Scalable Multigrid Methods: Algebraic Algorithms and
Parallel Techniques". The seven papers in this volume were presented there
and selected for publication in this dedicated issue. The range of topics
covered by these papers demonstrates the breadth and strength of this still
vibrant area of research.
The Conference was organized by the University of Colorado, the Society for
Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the Center for Applied Scientific
Computation at LLNL, the Institute for Algorithms and Scientific Computing
of the GMD, and Front Range Scientific Computations, Inc. In addition, the
conference was supported by the Department of Energy, the National Science
Foundation, and IBM Corporation.
The Program Committee for this conference consisted of Joel Dendy, Craig
Douglas, Paul Frederickson, Van Henson, Jim Jones, Kirk Jordan, Jan Mandel,
Daune Melson, Seymour Parter, Joseph Pasciak, John Ruge, Klaus Stüben,
Ulrich Trottenberg, Panayot Vassilevski, Pieter Wesseling, Olof Widlund, and
Irad Yaneh. These members of the Program Committee acted as the Guest
Editors for this special issue.
Cathy Lee, Conference Coordinator, made sure that the conference and its
program ran smoothly and justly earns our deepest gratitude. Finally, we
want to thank Arden Ruttan and ETNA for making this special issue possible.

From: "John Buckley"
Subject: CFD and Multigrid
I have been working on a 2-D explicit CFD code, based on Jameson's 4 stage
Runge-Kutta technique, for almost 3 years now. Our main reason for this work
is to model the flow of wet steam through turbines. Recently we decided to
try using a multigrid method to improve the convergence rate. I have
successfully implemented a 1D multigrid code (using the same algorithms as the
2D code) and get an improvement in convergence of between 10 and 40 times.
However the 2D code has been more of a challenge. I believe that the problems
are due to the solid boundaries interfering with the multigrid process. One
solution would be to freeze the solid boundary variables at the fine grid
values on the coarser levels.
I just wondered whether you know of a resource or person who might be able to
give me some expert advice in this area? I have looked elsewhere for help but
haven't come up anything too useful yet.
Thanks in advance

Subject: Locally Optimal Block Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient Method for
Large Symmetric Eigenproblems
The most recent MATLAB revision (currently 3.2.8, 2000/2/4) of my LOBPCG
(Locally Optimal Block Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient) Method is now
publicly available at
http://www-math.cudenver.edu/~aknyazev/software/CG/
Main features: a matrix-free iterative method for computing several extreme
eigenpairs of large symmetric positive generalized eigenproblems; a
user-defined symmetric positive preconditioner (a good preconditioner for a
stiffness matrix works well for the corresponding eigenvalue problem, too!);
robustness with respect to random initial approximations, variable
preconditioners, and ill-conditioning (up to 10^15) of the stiffness matrix of
the eigenproblem; apparently optimal convergence speed.
Numerical comparisons suggest that LOBPCG is a genuine analog for
eigenproblems of the standard preconditioned conjugate gradient method for
symmetric linear systems.
The algorithm of LOBPCG is described in

An Efficient Iterative Method for Stokes equations and Lame equations for
nearly incompressible media with highly discontinuous coefficients
N. S. Bakhvalov, A. V. Knyazev and R. R. Parashkevov
December 1, 1997
URN = ncstrl.cudenver_ccm/UCD-CCM-120
http://cs-tr.cs.cornell.edu:80/Dienst/UI/1.0/Display/ncstrl.cudenver_ccm/UCD-CCM-120
Abstract: We consider an efficient iterative solution technique for the
isotropic linear elasticity (Lam\'{e}) equations for nearly incompressible
media and Stokes equations with highly discontinuous coefficients. The
iterative method involves a special choice for an initial guess and a
preconditioner based on solving a constant coefficient problem. For
simplicity, we only analyze a periodic boundary value problem. Some other
standard boundary value problems can be treated similarly, or can be reduced
to the periodic case by using the fictitious domain method. For the Lam\'{e}
equations, we also discuss the case of absolutely compressible media.

Lavrentiev Regularization + Ritz Approximation Uniform Finite Element
Error Estimates for Differential Equations with Rough Coefficients
Andrew Knyazev and Olof Widlund
May 1, 1998
URN = ncstrl.cudenver_ccm/UCD-CCM-132
http://cs-tr.cs.cornell.edu:80/Dienst/UI/1.0/Display/ncstrl.cudenver_ccm/UCD-CCM-132
Abstract: We consider a parametric family of boundary va= lue problems for
the diffusion equation with the diffusion coefficient eq= ual to a small
constant in a subdomain. Such problems are not uniformly w= ell-posed when
the constant gets small. However, in a series of papers, B= akhvalov and
Knyazev have suggested a natural splitting of the problem in= to two
well-posed problems. Using this idea, we prove a uniform finite el= ement
error estimate for our model problem in the standard parameter-inde= pendent
Sobolev norm. We consider a traditional finite element method wit= h only one
additional assumption, namely, that the boundary of the subdom= ain with the
small coefficient does not cut any finite element. One inter= pretation of
our main theorem is in terms of regularization. Our FEM prob= lem can be
viewed as resulting from a Lavrentiev regularization and a Rit= z--Galerkin
approximation of a symmetric ill-posed problem. Our error est= imate can then
be used to find an optimal regularization parameter togeth= er with the
optimal dimension of the approximation subspace.

Preconditioned Eigensolvers: Practical Algorithms

http://cs-tr.cs.cornell.edu:80/Dienst/UI/1.0/Display/ncstrl.cudenver_ccm/UCD-CCM-143
Abstract: We propose a systematic review of preconditioned iterative methods
for symmetric eigenvalue problems, separating the choice of the preconditioner
and the choice of the iterative scheme. We describe several known methods,
concentrating on algorithms and with just brief references to existing theory.
We discuss, in some details, the algorithm of the recently suggested by the
author Optimal Block Conjugate Gradient Method. We present numerical results
showing that the method converges linearly with the optimal convergence rate.
Numerical comparison establishes that our method is much faster than the Block
Steepest Ascent Method when the same preconditioner is used in both methods.
We discuss peculiarities of locking for preconditioned iterative eigensolvers.

Toward the Optimal Preconditioned Eigensolver:
Locally Optimal Block Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient Method
A. V. Knyazev
January, 2000
URN = ncstrl.cudenver_ccm/UCD-CCM-149
http://cs-tr.cs.cornell.edu:80/Dienst/UI/1.0/Display/ncstrl.cudenver_ccm/UCD-CCM-149
Abstract: We describe new algorithms of the Locally Optimal Block
Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (LOBPCG) Method for symmetric eigenvalue
problems, based on a local optimization of a three-term recurrence. To be
able to compare numerically different methods in the class, with different
preconditioners, we suggest a common system of model tests, using random
preconditioners and initial guesses. As the ``ideal'' control algorithm, we
propose the standard preconditioned conjugate gradient method for finding an
eigenvector as an element of the null--space of the corresponding homogeneous
system of linear equations under the assumption that the eigenvalue is known.
We recommend that every new preconditioned eigensolver be compared with this
``ideal'' algorithm on our model test problems in terms of the speed of
convergence, costs of every iterations and memory requirements. We provide
such comparison for our LOBPCG Method. Numerical results establish that our
algorithm is practically as efficient as the ``ideal'' algorithm when the same
preconditioner is used in both methods. We also show numerically that the
LOBPCG Method provides approximations to first eigenpairs of about the same
quality as those by the much more expensive global optimization method on the
same generalized block Krylov subspace. Finally, direct numerical comparisons
with the Jacobi--Davidson method show that our method is more robust and
converges almost two times faster.

ABSTRACT
We investigate the use of a fourth order compact finite difference scheme for
solving an one dimensional heat transport equation at the microscale. The
fourth order compact scheme is used with a Crank-Nicholson type integrator by
introducing an intermediate function for the heat transport equation. The new
scheme is proved to be unconditionally stable with respect to initial values.
Numerical experiments are conducted to compare the new scheme with the
existing scheme based on second order spatial discretization. It is shown
that the new scheme is computationally more efficient and more accurate than
the second order scheme.

ABSTRACT
We present a fourth order compact finite difference scheme for a general three
dimensional convection diffusion equation with variable coefficients on a
uniform cubic grid. This high order compact difference scheme is used to
solve convection diffusion equation with boundary layers on a three
dimensional nonuniform grid. We compare the computed accuracy and
computational efficiency of the fourth order compact difference scheme with
that of the standard central difference scheme and the first order upwind
difference scheme. Several convection diffusion problems are solved
numerically to validate the proposed fourth order compact scheme.

We investigate a family of finite difference schemes for discretizing the two

study the relation between the cyclic reduction method and the discretization
schemes on different grids. The spectral radii of the Jacobi iteration
matrices, and the truncation errors of, different discretization schemes are
compared analytically and numerically.

Accuracy, Robustness, and Efficiency Comparison in
Iterative Computation of Convection Diffusion Equation
with Boundary Layers

Department of Computer Science, University of Kentucky,

ABSTRACT
Nine point fourth order compact finite difference scheme, central difference
scheme, and upwind difference scheme are compared for solving the two
dimensional convection diffusion equations with boundary layers. The domain
is discretized with a stretched nonuniform grid. A grid transformation
technique maps the nonuniform grid to a uniform one, on which the difference
schemes are applied. A multigrid method and a multilevel preconditioning
technique are used to solve the resulting sparse linear systems. We compare
the accuracy of the computed solutions from different discretization schemes,
and demonstrate the relative efficiency of each scheme. Comparisons of
maximum absolute errors, iteration counts, CPU timings, and memory cost are
made with respect to the two solution strategies.

Using MPI-2
Advanced Features of the Message Passing Interface
William Gropp, Ewing Lusk, and Rajeev Thakur
The Message Passing Interface (MPI) specification is widely used for
solving significant scientific and engineering problems on parallel
computers. There exist more than a dozen implementations on computer
platforms ranging from IBM SP-2 supercomputers to clusters of PCs
running Windows NT or Linux ("Beowulf" machines). The initial MPI
Standard document, MPI-1, was recently updated by the MPI Forum. The
new version, MPI-2, contains both significant enhancements to the
existing MPI core and new features.
Using MPI is a completely up-to-date version of the authors' 1994
introduction to the core functions of MPI. It adds material on the new
C++ and Fortran 90 bindings for MPI throughout the book. It contains
greater discussion of datatype extents, the most frequently
misunderstood feature of MPI-1, as well as material on the new
extensions to basic MPI functionality added by the MPI-2 Forum in the
area of MPI datatypes and collective operations.
Using MPI-2 covers the new extensions to basic MPI. These include
parallel I/O, remote memory access operations, and dynamic process
management. The volume also includes material on tuning MPI
applications for high performance on modern MPI implementations.
William Gropp and Ewing Lusk are Senior Computer Scientists in the
