Add geometric multigrid support

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Problem

Add geometric multigrid (GMG) support for matrix-free method (see deal.II step-37).

Handling AMR

deal.II Matrix-free Multigrid paper.

In short, global coarsening algorithms work better in parallel due to load balancing.

Local Smoothing

Only cells of the same refinement level are considered. At refinement edge we get a boundary which we must enforce. No hanging nodes.

Global Coarsening

Coarsen each level of multigrid, which means each level might have hanging nodes.
