Abstract

We consider the space-time discretization of the diffusion equation, using an isogeometric analysis (IgA) approximation in space and a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approximation in time. Drawing inspiration from a former spectral analysis, we propose for the resulting space-time linear system a multigrid preconditioned GMRES method, which combines a preconditioned GMRES with a standard multigrid acting only in space. The performance of the proposed solver is illustrated through numerical experiments, which show its competitiveness in terms of iteration count, run-time and parallel scaling.
