Abstract

In this paper, we present a robust multilevel preconditioner for the algebraic system resulting from the continuous interior penalty finite element method for the approximation of the Helmholtz equation. The key idea in this work is the replacement of traditional smoothers by the one level overlapping domain decomposition method on coarse grids. The proposed multilevel method then serves as a preconditioner in the outer GMRES iteration. Numerical results show that for fixed wave numbers, the convergence of our multilevel method is independent of the mesh size. Furthermore, the performance of the algorithm depends relatively mildly on the wave number.
