Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "For the representation of piecewise d-linear functions we introduce a generating system instead of the usual finite element basis. It contains the nodal basis functions of the finest level of discretization and, additionally, the nodal basis functions of all coarser levels of discretization. This approach enables us to work directly with multilevel decompositions of a function. For a partial differential equation, the Galerkin approach results now in an indefinite system of linear equations which has in the 1D case only about twice, in the 2D case about 4/3 times and in the 3D case about 8/7 times as many unknowns as the usual system. Furthermore, the indefinite system does not possess just one but many solutions
However, the unique solution of the usual definite finite element problem can be computed from every solution of the indefinite problem. We show that modern mutlilevel algorithms can be considered as standard iterative methods over the indefinite system. The conjugate gradient method for the indefinite system is equivalent to the BPX- or MDS- preconditioned conjugate gradient method for the linear system which arises from the usual finite element basis. The Gauss-Seidel iteration applied to the indefinite system is equivalent to the multigrid method applied to the standard basis system. Consequently, the Gauss-Seidel- preconditioned conjugate gradient method for the indefinite system is equivalent to MG-CG for the standard basis system
At last, the results of numerical experiments regarding the condition number and the convergence rates of different iterative methods for the indefinite system are reported.
