| Popis: | Since its introduction in [20], Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) has established itself as a viable alternative to the Finite Element Method (FEM). Solving the resulting linear systems of equations efficiently remains, however, challenging when high-order B-spline basis functions of order p> 1 are adopted for approximation. The use of Incomplete LU (ILU) type factorizations, like ILU(k) or ILUT, as a preconditioner within a Krylov method or as a smoother within a multigrid method is very effective, but costly [37]. In this paper, we investigate the use of a block ILUT smoother within a p-multigrid method, where the coarse grid correction is obtained at p= 1, and compare it to a global ILUT smoother in case of multipatch geometries. A spectral analysis indicates that the use of the block ILUT smoother improves the overall convergence rate of the resulting p-multigrid method. Numerical results, obtained for a variety of two dimensional benchmark problems, illustrate the potential of this block ILUT smoother for multipatch geometries. |
