Title
Convergence analysis of a multigrid method for convection---diffusion equations
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the convergence analysis of robust multigrid methods for convection-diffusion problems. We consider a finite difference discretization of a 2D model convection-diffusion problem with constant coefficients and Dirichlet boundary conditions. For the approximate solution of this discrete problem a multigrid method based on semicoarsening, matrix-dependent prolongation and restriction and line smoothers is applied. For a multigrid W-cycle we prove an upper bound for the contraction number in the euclidean norm which is smaller than one and independent of the mesh size and the diffusion/convection ratio. For the contraction number of a multigrid V-cycle a bound is proved which is uniform for a class of convection-dominated problems. The analysis is based on linear algebra arguments only.
