✦ Synopsis


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 system can be reduced to a symmetric positive definite system involving the unknown flux alone. We study the numerical behaviour of some hybrid V -cycle multilevel algorithms with optimal computational complexity based on the hierarchical spatial decomposition approach proposed by Cai, Goldstein and Pasciaks for the reduced system.
