About this title

Synopsis

This classic text presents the best practices of developing multigrid solvers for large-scale computational problems in science and engineering. By representing a problem at multiple scales and employing suitable interscale interactions, multigrid avoids slowdown due to stiffness and reduces the computational cost of classical algorithms by orders of magnitude. Starting from simple examples, this book guides the reader through practical stages for developing reliable multigrid solvers, methodically supported by accurate performance predictors. The revised edition presents discretization and fast solution of linear and nonlinear partial differential systems; treatment of boundary conditions, global constraints and singularities; grid adaptation, high-order approximations and system design optimization; applications to fluid dynamics, from simple models to advanced systems; new quantitative performance predictors, a MATLABŪ sample code and more. Readers will also gain access to the Multigrid Guide 2.0 website, where updates and new developments will be continually posted, including a chapter on Algebraic Multigrid.

About the Authors

Achi Brandt is Professor Emeritus at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Professor in Residence at the University of California, Los Angeles and the Chief Scientist of VideoSurf, Inc. In 2005 he won the SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering 'for pioneering modern multilevel methods, from multigrid solvers for partial differential equations to multiscale techniques for statistical physics, and for influencing almost every aspect of contemporary computational science and engineering'.

Oren Livne is a Senior Software Engineer at the Office of the Associate Vice President for Health Sciences Information Technology at the University of Utah. He received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the Weizmann Institute of Science. His doctoral work, supervised by Achi Brandt, focused on multigrid methods for electronic structure computations in quantum chemistry.
