Scalable multi-level deflation preconditioning for highly indefinite time-harmonic waves

Recent research efforts aimed at iteratively solving time-harmonic waves have focused on a broad range of techniques to accelerate convergence. In particular, for the famous Helmholtz equation, deflation techniques have been studied to accelerate the convergence of Krylov subspace methods. In this work, we extend the two-level deflation method...

Towards accuracy and scalability: Combining Isogeometric Analysis with deflation to obtain scalable convergence for the Helmholtz equation

Finding fast yet accurate numerical solutions to the Helmholtz equation remains a challenging task. The pollution error (i.e. the discrepancy between the numerical and analytical wave number k) requires the mesh resolution to be kept fine enough to obtain accurate solutions. A recent study showed that the use of Isogeometric Analysis (IgA)...
