Uniform convergence of geometric multigrid V-cycle for hybrid high-order methods.
Abstract
This article discusses the convergence analysis of geometric multigrid methods for hybrid high-order (HHO) and other discontinuous skeletal methods. It generalizes results for HDG methods, focusing on the fast solution of condensed systems from hybrid discretizations. The paper outlines a framework for multigrid convergence with a V-cycle, including HHO methods in its scope. The theoretical results are supported by numerical experiments.
The content is structured as follows:
Introduction to hybrid discretization methods.
Problem formulation and notation.
Discontinuous skeletal methods.
Multigrid algorithm and abstract convergence results.
Convergence analysis with Lemmas and Theorems.
Verification of assumptions for HHO.
Key Highlights:
Proposal of a generalized framework for multigrid convergence analysis.
Inclusion of HHO methods in the application scope.
Proof of uniform convergence using V-cycle multigrid method.
Stats
Various multigrid solvers designed over the last decade focus on HDG and HHO methods [CDGT14, SA17, WMBT19, MBTS20, LRK21, LRK22a].
Modern hybrid discretization methods handle polyhedral elements but are restricted to simplicial meshes.
