Abstract

We present a matrix-free parallel scalable multilevel deflation preconditioned method for heterogeneous time-harmonic wave problems. Building on the higher-order deflation preconditioning proposed by Dwarka and Vuik (SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 42(2):A901-A928, 2020; J. Comput. Phys. 469:111327, 2022) for highly indefinite time-harmonic waves, we adapt these techniques for parallel implementation in the context of solving large-scale heterogeneous problems with minimal pollution error. Our proposed method integrates the Complex Shifted Laplacian preconditioner with deflation approaches. We employ higher-order deflation vectors and re-discretization schemes derived from the Galerkin coarsening approach for a matrix-free parallel implementation. We suggest a robust and efficient configuration of the matrix-free multilevel deflation method, which yields a close to wavenumber-independent convergence and good time efficiency. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for increasingly complex model problems. The matrix-free implementation of the preconditioned Krylov subspace methods reduces memory consumption, and the parallel framework exhibits satisfactory parallel performance and weak parallel scalability. This work represents a significant step towards developing efficient, scalable, and parallel multilevel deflation preconditioning methods for large-scale real-world applications in wave propagation.
