MG question

[jens.madsen at risoe.dk]

Hi 

 

I hope that this question is not outside the scope of this mailinglist.

 

As far as I understand PETSc uses preconditioned GMRES(or another KSP
method) as pre- and postsmoother on all multigrid levels? I was just
wondering why and where in the literature I can read about that method?
I thought that a fast method would be to use MG (with Gauss-Seidel
RB/zebra smothers) as a preconditioner for GMRES? I have looked at
papers written by Oosterlee etc.

 

Kind Regards
