    Notes: Summary. We consider two level overlapping Schwarz domain decomposition methods for solving the finite element problems that arise from discretizations of elliptic problems on general unstructured meshes in two and three dimensions. Standard finite element interpolation from the coarse to the fine grid may be used. Our theory requires no assumption on the substructures that constitute the whole domain, so the substructures can be of arbitrary shape and of different size. The global coarse mesh is allowed to be non-nested to the fine grid on which the discrete problem is to be solved, and neither the coarse mesh nor the fine mesh need be quasi-uniform. In addition, the domains defined by the fine and coarse grid need not be identical. The one important constraint is that the closure of the coarse grid must cover any portion of the fine grid boundary for which Neumann boundary conditions are given. In this general setting, our algorithms have the same optimal convergence rate as the usual two level overlapping domain decomposition methods on structured meshes. The condition number of the preconditioned system depends only on the (possibly small) overlap of the substructures and the size of the coarse grid, but is independent of the sizes of the subdomains.

    Notes: Summary The composite step biconjugate gradient method (CSBCG) is a simple modification of the standard biconjugate gradient algorithm (BCG) which smooths the sometimes erratic convergence of BCG by computing only a subset of the iterates. We show that 2×2 composite steps can cure breakdowns in the biconjugate gradient method caused by (near) singularity of principal submatrices of the tridiagonal matrix generated by the underlying Lanczos process. We also prove a “best approximation” result for the method. Some numerical illustrations showing the effect of roundoff error are given.

    Notes: Abstract We present algorithms for solving quadratically constrained linear least squares problems that do not necessarily require expensive dense matrix factorizations. Instead, only “black box” solvers for certain related unconstrained least squares problems, as well as the solution of two related linear systems involving the coefficient matrixA and the constraint matrixB, are required. Special structures in the problem can thus be exploited in these solvers, and iterative as well as direct solvers can be used. Our approach is to solve for the Lagrange multiplier as the root of an implicitly-defined secular equation. We use both a linear and a rational (Hebden) local model and a Newton and secant method. We also derive a formula for estimating the Lagrange multiplier which depends on the amount the unconstrained solution violates the constraint and an estimate of the smallest generalized singular value ofA andB. The Lagrange multiplier estimate can be used as a good initial guess for solving the secular equation. We also show conditions under which this estimate is guaranteed to be an acceptable solution without further refinement. Numerical results comparing the different algorithms are presented.

    Notes: Abstract We propose a new and more stable variant of the CGS method [27] for solving nonsymmetric linear systems. The method is based on squaring the Composite Step BCG method, introduced recently by Bank and Chan [1,2], which itself is a stabilized variant of BCG in that it skips over steps for which the BCG iterate is not defined and causes one kind of breakdown in BCG. By doing this, we obtain a method (Composite Step CGS or CSCGS) which not only handles the breakdowns described above, but does so with the advantages of CGS, namely, no multiplications by the transpose matrix and a faster convergence rate than BCG. Our strategy for deciding whether to skip a step does not involve any machine dependent parameters and is designed to skip near breakdowns as well as produce smoother iterates. Numerical experiments show that the new method does produce improved performance over CGS on practical problems.

    Notes: Abstract We propose two block preconditioners for Toeplitz-block matrices (i.e. each block is Toeplitz), intended to be used in conjunction with conjugate gradient methods. These preconditioners employ and extend existing circulant preconditioners for point Toeplitz matrices. The two preconditioners differ in whether the point circulant approximation is used once or twice, and also in the cost per step. We discuss efficient implementation of these two preconditioners, as well as some basic theoretical properties (such as preservation of symmetry and positive definiteness). We report results of numerical experiments, including an example from active noise control, to compare their performance.

    Notes: Abstract The Bi-Conjugate Gradient (BCG) algorithm is the simplest and most natural generalization of the classical conjugate gradient method for solving nonsymmetric linear systems. It is well-known that the method suffers from two kinds of breakdowns. The first is due to the breakdown of the underlying Lanczos process and the second is due to the fact that some iterates are not well-defined by the Galerkin condition on the associated Krylov subspaces. In this paper, we derive a simple modification of the BCG algorithm, the Composite Step BCG (CSBCG) algorithm, which is able to compute all the well-defined BCG iterates stably, assuming that the underlying Lanczos process does not break down. The main idea is to skip over a step for which the BCG iterate is not defined.

    Notes: Abstract We give several additive Schwarz domain decomposition methods for solving finite element problems which arise from the discretizations of elliptic problems on general unstructured meshes in two and three dimensions. Our theory requires no assumption (for the main results) on the substructures which constitute the whole domain, so each substructure can be of arbitrary shape and of different size. The global coarse mesh is allowed to be non-nested to the fine grid on which the discrete problem is to be solved and both the coarse meshes and the fine meshes need not be quasi-uniform. In this general setting, our algorithms have the same optimal convergence rate of the usual domain decomposition methods on structured meshes. The condition numbers of the preconditioned systems depend only on the (possibly small) overlap of the substructures and the size of the coares grid, but is independent of the sizes of the subdomains.
