Abstract

AbstractThis paper develops a general framework for applying algebraic multigrid techniques to constrained systems of linear algebraic equations that arise in applications with discretized PDEs. We discuss constraint coarsening strategies for constructing multigrid coarse grid spaces and several classes of multigrid smoothers for these systems. The potential of these methods is investigated with their application to contact problems in solid mechanics. Published in 2004 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
