Analysis of a multigrid preconditioner for Crouzeix-Raviart discretization of elliptic partial differential equation with jump coefficients



Abstract: In this paper, we present a multigrid V-cycle preconditioner for the linear system arising from piecewise linear nonconforming Crouzeix-Raviart discretization of second order elliptic problems with jump coefficients. The preconditioner uses standard conforming subspaces as coarse spaces. We showed that the convergence rate of the multigrid V-cycle algorithm will deteriorate rapidly due to large jumps in coefficient. However, the preconditioned system has only a fixed number of small eigenvalues, which are deteriorated due to the large jump in coefficient, and the effective condition number is bounded logarithmically with respect to the mesh size. As a result, the multigrid V-cycle preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm converges nearly uniformly. Numerical tests show both robustness with respect to jumps in the coefficient and the mesh size.
