Abstract

In this paper, frequency filtering decomposition (FFD) preconditioner is analyzed by the approach of Fourier analysis. The condition number estimation of a preconditioned 2-D model problem is presented. Analysis reveals that condition number of the preconditioned matrix grows like O (h- 1), with h be the mesh size. By using the framework of FFD, a stabilized frequency filtering decomposition (SFFD) method is proposed and analyzed by Fourier method. Results show that SFFD preconditioner is superior to FFD preconditioner in the sense that κ (MSFFD- 1 A) ≤ κ (MFFD- 1 A). Numerical tests are performed to illustrate the theoretical results and the superiority of SFFD preconditioner.
