We present novel improvements in the context of symbol-based multigrid procedures for solving large block structured linear systems. We study the application of an aggregation-based grid transfer operator that transforms the symbol of a block Toeplitz matrix from matrix-valued to scalar-valued at the coarser level. Our convergence analysis of the Two-Grid Method (TGM) reveals the connection between the features of the scalar-valued symbol at the coarser level and the properties of the original matrix-valued one. This allows us to prove the convergence of a V-cycle multigrid with standard grid transfer operators for scalar Toeplitz systems at the coarser levels. Consequently, we extend the class of suitable smoothers for block Toeplitz matrices, focusing on the efficiency of block strategies, particularly the relaxed block Jacobi method. General conditions on smoothing parameters are derived, with emphasis on practical applications where these parameters can be calculated with negligible computational cost. We test the proposed strategies on linear systems stemming from the discretization of differential problems with $\mathbb{Q}_{d} $ Lagrangian FEM or B-spline with non-maximal regularity. The numerical results show in both cases computational advantages compared to existing methods for block structured linear systems. |
