  1. Multigrid Methods Shijie Zhong Dept. of Physics University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado Workshop for Advancing Numerical Modeling of Mantle Convection and Lithospheric Dynamics July 2008, UC-Davis

  2. Numerical modeling A scientific problem  Partial differential equations within a domain  Discretize PDE using FE, FD, FV, … on a certain grid  a matrix equation: Kd=F f=ma

  3. A toy problem: 1-D heat conduction 0 1 x

  4. e x=0 x=1 Discretize with FE

  5. e 1 0

  6. Kd=F

  7. Iterative Solvers A matrix equation: Kd=F Iterative solvers: • memory usage ~ N (# of unknowns in d), • # of flops ~ N (e.g., for multigrid solver), • suitable for parallel computing.

  8. Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods Matrix Equation: Rewrite matrix K: Jacobi method: Start with a guessed solution d(0), then update d iteratively to get d(1), … until residual e=||Kd(n)-F|| is less than some tolerance. Gauss-Seidel method:

  9. Jacobi method

  10. Gauss-Seidel Method

  11. The idea behind multigrid Gauss-Seidel

  12. A road map

  13. A road map continued but reversed

  14. Different cycles W-cycle V-cycle n n-1 1

  15. THE method for elliptic equations (i.e., “diffusion” like problems)

  16. Execution Time vs Grid Size N for Multi-grid Solvers in Citcom t ~ N-1 FMG: Zhong et al. 2000 MG: Moresi and Solomatov, 1995
