Multigrid Methods - An Overview

A (virtual!) Lecture Series at Imperial College

Luke Olson, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign

• W May 06 2020, 4--6pm BST Lecture 1: MG Basics
• F May 08 2020, 4--6pm BST Lecture 2: MG Extensions
• M May 11 2020, 4--6pm BST Lecture 3: Algebraic Multigrid (AMG)
• F May 15 2020, 4--6pm BST Lecture 4: Multigrid Theory

Participation will be via zoom.

The focus of this lecture series is on the fundamentals of multigrid methods and is open to both practitioners and methods developers in mathematics, computer science, and the applied sciences. The lecture series will cover the basics of multigrid methods in both a geometric and algebraic setting, introduce some key concepts in the theoretical treatment of these methods, and highlight their use in a parallel setting.

Suggested prerequisites: strong background in linear algebra and some exposure to linear solvers; basic Python experience (for examples, but not required); general numerical analysis; introductory knowledge of partial differential equations.
