Multilevel methods and adaptivity

After introduction of the model problem we derive its weak formulation, show the existence and the uniqueness of the solution, and present the Galerkin finite element method. Then we briefly describe some of the stationary iterative methods and their smoothing property. We present the most common multigrid schemes, i.e. two-grid correction scheme, V-cycle scheme, and the full multigrid algorithm. Then we perform numerical experiment showing the differences between the use of the direct and iterative coarsest grid solver in V-cycle scheme and experiment considering a perturbation of the correction vector simulating a fault of a computational device.
