Abstract

An accurate and efficient multilevel v-cycle algorithm for radial basis function-based finite difference (RBF-FD) method is presented in this paper. The primary goal of the algorithm is level-by-level calculation from finest level to coarsest level and then level-by-level correction from coarsest level to finest level. The algorithm produces an accurate solution by solving corresponding error equations of the discretized equations from coarsest level to coarser level and then finer level to desired finest level. Convection-dominated problems are taken to demonstrate the validity of the algorithm. The computing time of the proposed algorithm is calculated, and it saves at least 51% of computation time than the general RBF-FD method. The necessary and sufficient convergence conditions of the iteration matrix of the proposed method were verified numerically. The tests show that the developed algorithm is accurate, which accelerates to a significant reduction in computational cost compared with the general RBF-FD method.
