Multigrid Reduced in Time for Isogeometric Analysis

Isogeometric Analysis (IgA) can be seen as the natural extension of the Finite Element Method (FEM) to high-order B-spline basis functions. Combined with a time inte- gration scheme within the method of lines, IgA has become a viable alternative to FEM for time-dependent problems. However, as processors' clock speeds are no longer increasing but...

P-multigrid methods for Isogeometric analysis

Isogeometric Analysis is a methodology that bridges the gap between Computer Aided Design (CAD) and the Finite Element Method (FEM) by adopting the building blocks used in CAD, namely Non-UniformRational B-Splines and B-splines, as a basis for FEM. The use of these high-order spline functions does not only lead to an accurate representation of...
