MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Tensor Structured Iterative Solution of Elliptic Problems with Jumping Coefficients

Sergey Dolgov, Boris N. Khoromskij, Ivan V. Oseledets and Eugene E. Tyrtyshnikov

Abstract

We study separability properties of solutions of elliptic equations with piecewise constant coefficients in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d \ge 2$. Besides that, we develop efficient tensor-structured preconditioner for the diffusion equation with variable coefficients. It is based only on rank structured decomposition of the tensor of reciprocal coefficient and on the decomposition of the inverse of the Laplacian operator. It can be applied to full vector with linear-logarithmic complexity in the number of unknowns $N$. It also allows low-rank tensor representation, which has linear complexity in dimension $d$, hence, it gets rid of the "curse of dimensionality" and can be used for large values of $d$. Extensive numerical tests are presented.
