On the Convergence Factor in Multilevel Methods for Solving 3D Elasticity Problems

The constant gamma in the strengthened Cauchy-Bunyakowskii-Schwarz inequality is a basic tool for constructing of two-level and multilevel preconditioning matrices. Therefore many authors consider estimates or computations of this quantity. In this paper the bilinear form arising from 3D linear elasticity problems is considered on a polyhedron. The cosine of the abstract angle between multilevel finite element subspaces is computed by a spectral analysis of a general eigenvalue problem. Octasection and bisection approaches are used for refining the triangulations. Tetrahedron, pentahedron and hexahedron meshes are considered. The dependence of the constant $\gamma$ on the Poisson ratio is presented graphically.
