A class of efficient locally constructed preconditioners based on coarse spaces

Abstract

In this paper we present a class of robust and fully algebraic two-level preconditioners for symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices. We introduce the notion of algebraic local symmetric positive semidefinite splitting of an SPD matrix and we give a characterization of this splitting. This splitting leads to construct algebraically and locally a class of efficient coarse spaces which bound the spectral condition number of the preconditioned system by a number defined a priori. We also introduce the tau-filtering subspace. This concept helps compare the dimension minimality of coarse spaces. Some PDEs-dependant preconditioners correspond to a special case. The examples of the algebraic coarse spaces in this paper are not practical due to expensive construction. We propose a heuristic approximation that is not costly. Numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
