Abstract

The boundary concentrated finite element method is a variant of the hp-version of the finite element method that is particularly suited for the numerical treatment of elliptic boundary value problems with smooth coefficients and low regularity boundary conditions. For this method we present two multilevel preconditioners that lead to preconditioned stiffness matrices with condition numbers that are bounded uniformly in the problem size N. The cost of applying the preconditioners is O( N). Numerical examples illustrate the efficiency of the algorithms.
