A cascadic multigrid method for nonsymmetric eigenvalue problem

摘要

In this paper, a cascadic multigrid method is proposed to solve nonsymmetric eigenvalue problems. Based on the multilevel correction method, the proposed method transforms a nonsymmetric eigenvalue problem solving on the finest finite element space to linear smoothing steps on a sequence of multilevel finite element spaces and some nonsymmetric eigenvalue problems solving on a very low dimensional space. Choosing the sequence of finite element spaces and the number of smoothing steps appropriately, we obtain the optimal convergence rate with the optimal computing complexity. Some numerical examples are provided to validate the theoretical results and the efficiency of this proposed scheme. (C) 2019 IMACS. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
