Abstract

For frontal solvers to perform well on finite‐element problems it is essential that the elements are ordered for a small wavefront. Multilevel element ordering algorithms have their origins in the profile reduction algorithm of Sloan but for large problems often give significantly smaller wavefronts. We examine a number of multilevel variants with the aim of finding the best methods to include within a new state‐of‐the‐art frontal solver for finite‐element applications that we are currently developing. Numerical experiments are performed using a range of problems arising from real applications and comparisons are made with existing element ordering algorithms.

In this paper, we investigate some cost-effective hybrid V -cycle multilevel algorithms for the discrete systems that arise when a mixed finite element approach is used to solve certain second-order elliptic boundary value problems. By introducing a small penalty parameter, the perturbed indefinite

An efficient high-order approach to multi-dimensional problems with boundary or interior layers is presented. It combines a coarse grid penaltyspectral element method with a local one-dimensional asymptotic approximation. The solution so obtained is improved by numerical manipulations on the same co
