For a counter example the problem of magnetic shielding is used. Therefore the Maxwell's equations for stationary objects are reduced to a scalar PDE of second order with appropriate boundary conditions. In order to solve the equation by means of FEM, a discretization for micro scales is introduced. Especially long thin elements are suggested to keep the number of unknowns small in areas of micro structures. Constructively a finite element analysis is carried out where also a convergence result of the FE-solution in H1 is presented. To achieve an efficient and robust solution strategy the algebraic multigrid method of Ruge and Stueben is introduced. Additionally three different areas of application are presented for this AMG method, i.e. preconditioner, coarse grid solver for a full multigrid method, and black box solver. Because this AMG method normally works well for M-matrices, a technique is presented to attain M-matrices, if the underlying linear system arises from an FE-discretization. The method to achieve the M-matrix property is based on the element matrices. The algorithm was implemented as black box solver in the finite element package FEPP. Therein AMG was applied as preconditioner for the conjugate gradient method. Some numerical experiments are presented, where long thin quadrilaterals are used with ratio of the longest and shortest side of 1 to 10-3. Additionally parameter jumps of order 10-6 to 10+6 are considered. Concluding AMG has been proven, at least in a numerical way, to be an efficient and robust solver for magnetic shielding problems, if it is used as a preconditioner for the CG-method. If long thin quadrilaterals are used for discretization the modified preconditioner also behaves very robust.

Enhanced Multi-Level Block ILU Preconditioning Strategies for General Sparse Linear Systems Yousef Saad and Jun Zhang Department of Computer Science and Engineering University of Minnesota 200 Union Street S.E., Minneapolis, MN 55455 saad@cs.umn.edu, jzhang@cs.umn.edu ABSTRACT This paper introduces several strategies to deal with pivot blocks in multi-level block incomplete LU factorization (BILUM) preconditioning techniques. These techniques are aimed at increasing the robustness and controlling the amount of fill-in of BILUM for solving large sparse linear systems when large size blocks are used to form block independent sets. Techniques proposed in this paper include double dropping strategies, regularization via Singular Value Decomposition, variable size blocks, and use of arrowhead block submatrix. We point out the advantages and disadvantages of these strategies techniques and discuss their efficient implementations. Numerical experiments are conducted to show the usefulness of these techniques in dealing with hard-to-solve problems arising from computational fluid dynamics. In addition, we discuss the relation between multi-level ILU preconditioning methods and algebraic multi-level methods.

Browne of the University of Texas (browne@cs.utexas.edu) has allowed me to put a stable version of his code DAGH (Distributed Adaptive Grid Hierarchy). It is co-authored by M. Parashar (parashar@cs.utexas.edu). It includes multigrid as an option. The code solves problems in two and three dimensions using 1 or more processors. The code is a C++ library. Additionally, a tutorial on parallel adaptive grid refinement techniques is included. To quote from the tutorial: The goals for the tutorial are: To acquaint you with the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) technique for the solution of partial differential equations. To familiarize you with the conceptual frame work of DAGH and how it is implemented. To provide you with a working knowledge of DAGH interfaces through annotated examples. After you have gone through this tutorial you will be able to write a driver for DAGH and run it in either sequential or parallel mode. Editor's Note: The code is in www.mgnet.org/mgnet-codes.html and the ------------- tutorial is in www.mgnet.org/mgnet-tuts.html or you can access both of them directly in the directory www.mgnet.org/Codes/dagh. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 24 Jun 1998 08:56:34 +0200 (MET DST) From: Maya Neytcheva Subject: Contents of NLA ==================================================================== CONTENTS Numerical Linear Algebra with Applications Volume 5, Issue 1, 1998 ---------------------------------------------- A note on the normwise perturbation theory for the regular generalized eigenproblem V.
