Abstract

In this talk, a number of optimal convergence results will be reported for multigrid methods on locally adaptive grids obtained by bisection. Both BPX preconditioner and V-cycle multigrid methods will be considered for H1, H(curl) and H(div) systems. A novel decomposition of newest vertex bisection will be presented for bridging the results from quasi-uniform grids with locally refined grids.
