A full multigrid method for nonlinear eigenvalue problems (Q341406)

The authors provide a type of full multigrid method for the nonlinear eigenvalue problem. The idea is to transform the solution of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem into a series of solutions of the corresponding linear boundary value problems on the sequence of finite element spaces and nonlinear eigenvalue problems on the coarsest finite element space. The linearized boundary value problems are solved using some multigrid iterations. All other iteration methods for solving boundary value problems can serve as the linear problem solver. The computational work of this new scheme is proved to be truly optimal, the same as solving the linear corresponding boundary value problem. Some numerical experiments are presented to justify the efficiency of the new method.
