Multigrid in H(div) on Axisymmetric Domains

Abstract: In this paper, we will construct and analyze a multigrid algorithm that can be applied to weighted H(div)-problems on a two-dimensional domain. These problems arise after performing a dimension reduction to a three-dimensional axisymmetric H(div)-problem. We will use recently developed Fourier finite element spaces that can be applied to axisymmetric H(div)-problems with general data. We prove that if the axisymmetric domain is convex, then the multigrid V-cycle with modern smoothers will converge uniformly with respect to the meshsize.
