CBS constants for multilevel splitting of graph-Laplacian and application to preconditioning of discontinuous Galerkin systems (Q2465284)

From the authors' summary: The authors propose a multilevel preconditioner of optimal complexity for symmetric interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximations of second order elliptic problems. Using local analysis, they derive estimates for the constants in the strengthened Cauchy-Bunyakowski-Schwarz (CBS) inequality. The main contribution is a construction of a splitting that produces new estimates for the CBS constant for the graph-Laplacian.
