Box 1653 Edwardsville, IL, 62026-1653 ===firstname6: ===ABSTRACT: For a given matrix $A$ which is a centrosymmetric and symmetric positive-definite matrix with identical diagonal entries, we analyze the $A$-norm of errors of a two-grid aggregation-based algebraic multigrid method to the linear system $Ax=b$. More precisely, we will show that the $A$-norm of the error at each step is reduced by a constant which can be computed by solving a generalized symmetric positive-definite eigenvalue problem of size $n/4$, where $n$ is the size of $A$. ===affil3: ===keyword_other1: ===lastname5: ===affilother: ===title: Analysis of a Two-grid Aggregation-based Algebraic Multigrid Method on centrosymmetric and symmetric positive-definite matrices ===firstname2:
