A Numerical Approach to Space-Time Finite Elements for the Wave Equation
We study a space-time finite element approach for the nonhomogeneous wave
equation using a continuous time Galerkin method. We present fully implicit
examples in 1+1, 2+1, and 3+1 dimensions using linear quadrilateral,
hexahedral, and tesseractic elements. Krylov solvers with additive Schwarz
preconditioning are used for solving the linear system. We introduce a time
decomposition strategy in preconditioning which significantly improves
performance when compared with unpreconditioned cases.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, 5 table
