โฆ Synopsis
A multilevel iteration scheme is utilized in the solution of equations resulting from the p-version of the finite element method. The advantage of this approach is that it is possible to attain the speed of multigrid techniques in the solution of systems of equations without generating a sequence of nested grids on complex geometries. We compare the performance of the multilevel method with other iterative methods, and a direct method for the solution of the Poisson equation on a square with the Dirichiet boundary conditions and demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach for both sequential and parallel computation.
