David Keyes (KAUST University) donnera un séminaire au laboratoire J.L. Lions sur le thème suivant: Titre: Nonlinear Preconditioning for Implicit Solution of Discretized PDEs
Résumé: Nonlinear preconditioning refers to transforming a nonlinear algebraic system to a form for which Newton-type algorithms have improved success through quicker advance to the domain of quadratic convergence. We place these methods, which go back at least as far as the Additive Schwarz Preconditioned Inexact Newton (ASPIN, 2002), in the context of a proliferation of variations distinguished by being left- or right-sided, multiplicative or additive, non-overlapping or overlapping, and partitioned by field, subdomain, or other criteria, as described in a recent special issue of J Comp Phys dedicated to Roland Glowinski [Liu et al., 2024]. We present the Nonlinear Elimination Preconditioned Inexact Newton (NEPIN, 2021), which is based on a heuristic bad/good heuristic splitting of equations and corresponding degrees of freedom. We augment basic forms of nonlinear preconditioning with three features of practical interest: a cascadic identification of the bad discrete equation set, an adaptive switchover to ordinary Newton as the domain of convergence is approached, and error bounds on output functionals of the solution. Various nonlinearly stiff algebraic and model PDE problems are considered for insight and we illustrate performance advantage and scaling potential on challenging two-phase flows in porous media.
L’exposé aura lieu dans la salle de séminaire 15-16-309 et sera suivi d’une pause boissons/gateaux.
Notez bien l’horaire exceptionnel: le mardi 26 Mars à 15h.
