✦ Synopsis

The fast adaptive composite grid (FAC) method is an iterative method for solving discrete boundary value problems on composite grids. McCormick introduced the method in [8] and considered the convergence behaviour for discrete problems resulting from finite volume element discretization on composite grids. In this paper we consider discrete problems resulting from finite difference discretization on composite grids. We distinguish between two obvious discretization approaches at the grid points on the interfaces between fine and coarse subgrids. The FAC method for solving such discrete problems is described. In the FAC method several intergrid transfer operators appear. We study how the convergence behaviour depends on these intergrid transfer operators. Based on theoretical insights, (quasi-)optimal intergrid transfer operators are derived. Numerical results illustrate the fast convergence of the FAC method using these intergrid transfer operators.

We propose a finite-difference algorithm for solving the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation coupled to the appropriate Maxwell equation. The time derivatives are discretized using a second-order semi-implicit scheme which, for intermediate values of the Ginzburg-Landau parameter , allows
