Abstract

En 中文

We develop multilevel methods for interface-driven multiphysics problems that can be coupled across dimensions and where complexity and strength of the interface coupling deteriorates the performance of standard methods. We focus on aggregation-based algebraic multigrid methods with custom smoothers that preserve the coupling information on each coarse level. We prove that, with the proper choice of subspace splitting, we obtain uniform convergence in discretization and physical parameters in the two-level setting. Additionally, we show parameter robustness and scalability with regard to the number of the degrees of freedom of the system on several numerical examples related to the biophysical processes in the brain, namely, the electric signaling in excitable tissue modeled by bidomain, the extracellular-membrane-intracellular (EMI) model, and reduced EMI equations.
