An algebraic multigrid (AMG) with aggregation technique to coarsen is applied to construct a better preconditioner for solving Helmholtz equations in this paper. The solution process consists of constructing the preconditioner by AMG and solving the preconditioned Helmholtz problems by Krylov subspace methods. In the setup process of AMG, we employ the double pairwise aggregation (DPA) scheme firstly proposed by Y. Notay (2006) as the coarsening method. We compare it with the smoothed aggregation algebraic multigrid and meanwhile show shifted Laplacian preconditioners. According to numerical results, we find that DPA algorithm is a good choice in AMG for Helmholtz equations in reducing time and memory. Spectral estimation of system preconditioned by the three methods and the influence of second-order and fourth-order accurate discretizations on the three techniques are also considered.

AbstractThe Krylov subspace method has been investigated and refined for approximating the behaviors of finite or infinite dimensional linear operators. It has been used for approximating eigenvalues, solutions of linear equations, and operator functions acting on vectors. Recently, for time-series data analysis, much attention is being paid to the Krylov subspace method as a viable method for estimating the multiplications of a vector by an unknown linear operator referred to as a transfer operator. In this paper, we investigate a convergence analysis for Krylov subspace methods for estimating operator-vector multiplications.

An improved method is proposed based on compressed and Krylov-subspace iterative approaches to perform efficient static and transient simulations for large-scale power grid circuits. It is implemented with CG and BiCGStab algorithms and an excellent result has been obtained. Extensive experimental results on large-scale power grid circuits show that the present method is over 200 times faster than SPICE3 and around 10–20 times faster than ICCG method in transient simulations. Furthermore, the presented algorithm saves the memory usage over 95% of SPICE3 and 75% of ICCG method, respectively while the accuracy is not compromised.
