TLDR
This paper deals with an appropriate ordering strategy and block partitioning of the Gauß‐Seidel iteration and its application to multigrid methods for convection‐dominated problems.
Abstract
Due to the vanishing ellipticity, multigrid methods for convection-dominated problems tend to loose their good convergence properties. With a suited discretisation, an appropriate ordering of the unknowns and, if necessary, a special block partitioning, the smoothing property of the Gaus-Seidel iteration and therefore good convergence can be regained. This paper deals with such an ordering strategy and block partitionings.

Iterative Methods for Linear Systems: Theory and Applications

TL;DR: This book distinguishes itself from other texts on the topic by providing a straightforward yet comprehensive analysis of the Krylov subspace methods, approaching the development and analysis of algorithms from various algorithmic and mathematical perspectives, and going beyond the standard description of iterative methods by connecting them in a natural way to the idea of preconditioning.

Robust smoothers for high-order discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of advection-diffusion problems

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that multilevel methods with suitably chosen smoothers can provide such solvers, even in the presence of non self-adjoint advection terms and locally refined meshes.

On the feedback vertex set problem for a planar graph

TL;DR: An algorithm solving the feedback-vertex-set problem for planar digraphs is described and a side-product is a decomposition of the graph into subsets that are of interest for block-Gauß-Seidel smoothers in multi-grid methods.
