Abstract:

We develop and analyze multilevel methods for nonuniformly elliptic operators whose ellipticity holds in a weighted Sobolev space with an $A_2$–Muckenhoupt weight. Using the so-called Xu-Zikatanov (XZ) identity, we derive a nearly uniform convergence result under the assumption that the underlying mesh is quasi-uniform. As an application we also consider the so-called $\alpha$-harmonic extension to localize fractional powers of elliptic operators. Motivated by the scheme proposed by the second, third and fourth authors, we present a multilevel method with line smoothers and obtain a nearly uniform convergence result on anisotropic meshes. Numerical experiments illustrate the performance of our method.
