Goal-oriented adaptivity and multilevel preconditioning for the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (Q1930931): Difference between revisions

An adaptive multilevel finite element method for the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE) is discussed. Especially, the authors propose goal-oriented a posteriori error indicators and a problem-specific marking strategy, which are applied to numerically solve the PBE. They also combine Bramble-Pasciak-Xu (BPX)-type multilevel preconditioners with the proposed goal-oriented adaptive algorithm. Numerical experiments are also given, which demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
