space? I notice that the null vectors that successfully make the true
residual drop are only complicated in a very thin band around the
interface. This band is easy to identify using a level set. Other than
that, the null space vector has a low frequency variation. My thought
was to break the matrix into two sub-matrices, and somehow apply GAMG as
a preconditioner on the far matrix, and ILU on the interface-adjacent
matrix. Is this dumb or a complete misunderstanding of GASM?</blockquote></div><br>What is the dimension of the null space?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>"Bootstrap AMG" might be applicable to your problem, but it has yet to be implemented in a library. It is still expensive to construct, but may be better than the alternatives (except that using a sane spatial discretization is still likely better).</div>
