This paper provides an overview of the most important implementation aspects of an adaptive multigrid scheme for time-harmonic eddy currents. It is shown how the standard multigrid scheme can be modified to yield an O(N) complexity even for general adaptive refinement strategies, where the number of unknowns N can grow slowly from one to the next refinement level. Algorithmic details and numerical examples are given.
