CT_MultiLevel
May 27 2013
Abstract
This thorn implements a multigrid solver for systems of elliptic partial differential equations. It uses
Carpet’s interface to handle loops over the grid hierarchy and pass information between different
components. The system of equations is passed to the solver via parameters pointing to the external
grid functions that hold the equation coefficients.
1 Introduction
CT_MultiLevel is a Cactus thorn that implements a multigrid solver for elliptic partial differential equations
(PDEs). The implementation is rather standard, and it also allows for local AMR grids (in which case it uses a
rudimentary multilevel algorithm).
This thorn requires Carpet, which it uses to manage the access to the grid structure (via the BEGIN_*_LOOP and
END_*_LOOP macros) and to pass information between the different levels (via the restriction and prolongation
operators).
Structurally, the solver can tackle any type of equation or system of equations, their coefficients
being passed to CT_MultiLevel via string parameters holding the names of the corresponding grid
function. The thorn comes with a number of test cases which should be easy to customize and
extend.
2 Principle of multigrid
Multigrid schemes are designed to solve elliptic equations on a hierarchy of grids, with the goal of speeding up
the convergence rate of relaxation algorithms (such as Gauss-Seidel) by eliminating different frequency modes of
the solution error on different grids. It is known that relaxation techniques are very effective at eliminating the
high-frequency part of the error; when solving an elliptic PDE on a grid, it is then advantageous to relax it on a
coarser grid beforehand and interpolate the result back onto the original grid. Complex schemes involving several
grid levels, each with a different PDE, can be designed to maximize the speed up. Please refer to [1] for the
details.
3 Using This Thorn
CT_MultiLevel, along with the rest of the Cosmology arrangement, is released under the General Public
License, version 2 and higher. The copyright of this thorn remains with myself.
3.1 Obtaining This Thorn
CT_MultiLevel is publicly available in COSMOTOOLKIT’s git repository:
git clone https://[email protected]/eloisa/cosmology.git
A helper thorn CT_Analytic is available under the same repository.
3.2 Basic Usage
In order to solve an elliptic PDE with CT_MultiLevel, CT_MultiLevel can be simply compiled in, with the
requirement that Carpet is compiled as well. The thorn also inherits from boundary and grid for boundary
APIs and coordinate labels.
Currently, the equation is solved in a single schedule call at CCTK_INITIAL, in GLOBAL_LATE mode (to ensure
that necessary objects such as the grid arrays have been populated).
As the equation coefficients will be set by grid functions, a thorn allocating and setting these grid functions to
the desired values has to be included. Another thorn in the Cosmology arrangement, CT_Analytic, serves this
purpose. Grid functions of other origin are naturally just as good.
Each equation in the system to solve is parametrized as follows:
\begin {eqnarray} c_{xx} \partial _{xx} \psi + c_{xy} \partial _{xy} \psi + c_{xz} \partial _{xz} \psi + c_{yy} \partial _{yy} \psi + c_{yz} \partial _{yz} \psi + c_{zz} \partial _{zz} \psi &+& \\ c_{x} \partial _{x} \psi + c_{y} \partial _{y} \psi + c_{z} \partial _{z} \psi + c_{0} \psi ^{n_0} + c_{1} \psi ^{n_1} + c_{2} \psi ^{n_2} + c_{3} \psi ^{n_3} + c_4 \psi ^{n_4} &=& 0 \end {eqnarray}
All the coefficients \(c_*\) and the powers \(n_*\) can be specified by setting the parameters *_gfname[*] to the
desired grid function name. These parameters are arrays to allow for the solution of systems of
equations.
The only other parameter which must be set to ensure correct operation is CT_MultiLevel::topMGlevel, which
tells the solver which is the finest refinement level that covers the entire domain in which the equation is to be
solved. All levels below and including this will be used in the classical multigrid sense (e.g., in a V- or
FMG-cycle). The ones above will be treated as local AMR boxes, and be solved via a multilevel prescription;
presently, this involves simply interpolating the solution from the topMGlevel refinement level at
the end of the multigrid part and relaxing it progressively, from coarser to finer, on all the local
grids.
Other parameters control the stopping criteria (numbers of relaxation sweeps and residual tolerance), the
finite-differencing order used to discretized the equation, the number of equations in the system, and
whether the solution error should be calculated (this obviously requires the exact solution to be
known and stored in a grid function, its name passed to CT_MultiLevel via the usual parameter
mechanism).
Concrete examples on how to set these parameters are provided below.
3.3 Special Behaviour
When the equation coefficients cannot be passed in via external grid functions (as is the case, for instance, when
solving a coupled system of PDEs), then one can resort to auxiliary functions, which are recalculated after each
relaxation sweep. The actual algorithm used to populate these coefficient has to be provided by the user; some
examples are provided under src/auxiliaries. These values are stored in CT_MultiLevel’s auxiliaries
variable group.
All coefficients, auxiliaries, and other useful grid functions are stored in the pointer structure coeffptr, to which
the user can further append pointers to extra external grid functions, which are not used as PDE coefficients
(and thus do not need additional storage space and shouldn’t be introduced as auxiliaries), but are still needed
by the solver. Examples can be found under src/extra.
Finally, if variable resetting is necessary after each relaxation step (for instance, when solving linear problems in
periodic domains), a suitable calculation needs to be provided by the user, similar to the examples in
src/integral.
3.4 Interaction With Other Thorns
CT_MultiLevel uses some of Carpet’s macros to access different components of a grid hierarchy, and its
prolongation and restriction operators to pass information between them.
Furthermore, CT_MultiLevel needs at least one external thorn to set the PDE coefficients. The helper thorn
CT_Analytic can be used to this purpose, but any set of external grid functions will serve the
purpose.
3.5 Examples
The solver is described in [2], along with a number of examples. I rediscuss some of those below from the
technical standpoint, highlighting which parameters need to be set in each case and whether other information is
required from the user.
3.6 Poisson’s equation
Poisson’s equation reads: \begin {equation} \Delta \psi + \rho = 0 \end {equation}
where \(\rho \) is a known source function and \(\psi \) is an unknown to solve for. Its Laplacian, \(\Delta \psi \), simply represents the sum of
its diagonal second-order derivatives: \begin {equation} \Delta \psi = \partial _{xx} \psi + \partial _{yy} \psi + \partial _{zz} \psi \end {equation}
so that cxx_gfname[0], cyy_gfname[0] and czz_gfname[0] all have to be set to one. The source term can be
specified freely. CT_Analytic can be used to set all coefficients, e.g. setting the CT_Analytic::free_data
parameter to exact, where the coefficients of the diagonal second-order derivatives are all one, the source term
can be set to a linear combination of a gaussian, a sine, and a \(1/r\) term, and all the other coefficients default to zero.
To choose a gaussian source term, for instance, one can set:
CT_Analytic::free_data = "exact"
CT_Analytic::ampG = 1
CT_Analytic::sigma = 0.5
and then pass the relevant grid functions to CT_MultiLevel:
CT_MultiLevel::cxx_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testcxx"
CT_MultiLevel::cyy_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testcyy"
CT_MultiLevel::czz_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testczz"
CT_MultiLevel::c0_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testc0"
CT_MultiLevel::n0[0] = 0
CT_Analytic can also be used to set the initial guess for the solver:
CT_MultiLevel::inipsi_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testinipsi"
Any coefficient that is not specified explicitly via a parameter will be initialized to zero.
Other parameters can be used to tune the solver’s behavior, including the cycling mode through the
different levels and the stopping criterion. The parameter file par/poisson.par provides a concrete
example.
3.7 The Einstein constraint system for a spherical distribution of matter
Let’s consider Einstein’s constraints in the Lichnerowicz-York form and in a conformally-flat space, i.e. a coupled
system of four PDEs for the four functions \(\psi \) and \(X_i\):
\begin {eqnarray} \label {eq:CTT} \Delta \psi - \frac {K^2}{12}\,\psi ^5 + \frac {1}{8} {A}_{ij} {A}^{ij} \psi ^{-7} = - 2 \pi \rho \psi ^5 \\ \Delta X_i + \partial _i \partial _j X^j - \frac {2}{3} \psi ^6 \delta ^{ij} \partial _i K = 8 \pi j^i \psi ^{10} \end {eqnarray}
where \begin {equation} A_{ij}=\partial _i X_j + \partial _j X_i + \frac {2}{3} \; \delta _{ij} \partial _k X^k \end {equation}
and \(K\), \(\rho \) and \(j^i\) are freely specifiable functions.
Due to conformal flatness, again \(\Delta = \partial _{xx} + \partial _{yy} + \partial _{zz}\). However, in this case we have the additional complication that the coefficient
of the \(\psi ^{-7}\) term in the first equation depends on \(X^i\), and therefore has to be updated during the solution process. This
is accomplished by storing this coefficient in an auxiliary function, filled by the function CT_SetAuxiliaries
initially and after each Gauss-Seidel iteration. The recipe to fill this grid function is contained in
src/auxiliaries/Lump.cc.
The parameter specification for this case is then:
CT_Analytic::free_data = "Lump"
CT_Analytic::Kc = -0.1
CT_Analytic::ampG = 1
CT_Analytic::ampC = 1
CT_Analytic::ampV = 0.1
CT_Analytic::sigma = 0.2
CT_Analytic::vecA = 0.6
which specifies the equation coefficients and the free data \(K\), \(\rho \) and \(X^i\), and:
CT_MultiLevel::inipsi_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testinipsi"
CT_MultiLevel::cxx_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testcxx"
CT_MultiLevel::cyy_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testcyy"
CT_MultiLevel::czz_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testczz"
CT_MultiLevel::n0[0] = 5
CT_MultiLevel::c0_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testc0"
CT_MultiLevel::n1[0] = 0
CT_MultiLevel::c1_gfname[0] = "CT_Analytic::testc1"
CT_MultiLevel::n2[0] = -7
CT_MultiLevel::c2_gfname[0] = "CT_MultiLevel::ct_auxiliary[0]"
CT_MultiLevel::inipsi_gfname[1] = "CT_Analytic::testinixx"
CT_MultiLevel::cxx_gfname[1] = "CT_Analytic::testcxx"
CT_MultiLevel::cyy_gfname[1] = "CT_Analytic::testcyy"
CT_MultiLevel::czz_gfname[1] = "CT_Analytic::testczz"
CT_MultiLevel::n0[1] = 0
CT_MultiLevel::c0_gfname[1] = "CT_Analytic::testc2"
CT_MultiLevel::n1[1] = 0
CT_MultiLevel::c1_gfname[1] = "CT_MultiLevel::ct_auxiliary[1]"
CT_MultiLevel::inipsi_gfname[2] = "CT_Analytic::testinixy"
CT_MultiLevel::cxx_gfname[2] = "CT_Analytic::testcxx"
CT_MultiLevel::cyy_gfname[2] = "CT_Analytic::testcyy"
CT_MultiLevel::czz_gfname[2] = "CT_Analytic::testczz"
CT_MultiLevel::n0[2] = 0
CT_MultiLevel::c0_gfname[2] = "CT_Analytic::testc3"
CT_MultiLevel::n1[2] = 0
CT_MultiLevel::c1_gfname[2] = "CT_MultiLevel::ct_auxiliary[2]"
CT_MultiLevel::inipsi_gfname[3] = "CT_Analytic::testinixz"
CT_MultiLevel::cxx_gfname[3] = "CT_Analytic::testcxx"
CT_MultiLevel::cyy_gfname[3] = "CT_Analytic::testcyy"
CT_MultiLevel::czz_gfname[3] = "CT_Analytic::testczz"
CT_MultiLevel::n0[3] = 0
CT_MultiLevel::c0_gfname[3] = "CT_Analytic::testc4"
CT_MultiLevel::n1[3] = 0
CT_MultiLevel::c1_gfname[3] = "CT_MultiLevel::ct_auxiliary[3]"
which informs CT_MultiLevel on the grid functions holding the coefficients and on the existence of auxiliary
functions.
Further parameters control other aspects of the solution, and can be found in par/constraints_spherical.par. In
particular, the parameter CT_MultiLevel::number_of_equations has to be set explicitly to four to accomodate
the full system of equations.

7 Schedule
This section lists all the variables which are assigned storage by thorn CTThorns/CT_MultiLevel. Storage can
either last for the duration of the run (Always means that if this thorn is activated storage will
be assigned, Conditional means that if this thorn is activated storage will be assigned for the
duration of the run if some condition is met), or can be turned on for the duration of a schedule
function.
