Abstract

We study an extension of the concept of smoothed aggregation to convection-diffusion equations. Since the approximation of the hyperbolic part of the equations yields unsymmetric matrices, the use of symmetric prolongator smoother is not efficient for the construction of the coarse convection matrices. This leads us to extend the concept of smoothed aggregation to the use of non-symmetric one-sided prolongator smoothers. In this paper, we also clarify the relationship that must exist between the degree of the prolongator polynomial smoother and the aggregation strategy. This work concludes by some numerical experiments illustrating the performance of the proposed method.
