In many cases of practical interest the resulting linear equations exhibit strong anisotropies. It is well-known that standard multigrid methods fail to work for this type of problems. Various ILU methods have been proposed and investigated to overcome these difficulties. To be applied successfully, they usually require a modification of the ILU iteration. Only in the particular case of a 7-point decomposition for a 5-point discretization no modification is needed. We give a new proof for this situation, showing in which way the smoothing property is related to the size of the restmatrix. The method is shown to carry over to 9-point finite element discretizations. Numerical experiments document the excellent smoothing properties. abstract_translated_lang: eng class_scheme: msc class_labels: 65F10, 65N55, 65F50, 65N22, 65N30 date: 2005 date_type: published id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00005845 portal_cluster_id: p-iwrpp portal_order: 05845 ppn_swb: 1646174968 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-58458 language: eng bibsort: JOHANNSENKAROBUST9PO2005 full_text_status: public series: IWR-Preprints citation: Johannsen, Klaus (2005) A robust 9-point ILU smoother for anisotropic problems.
