Description:
Extending well--known linear concepts of successive subspace correction, we arrive at extended relaxation methods for elliptic variational inequalities. Extended underrelaxations are called monotone multigrid methods, if they are quasioptimal in a certain sense. By construction, all monotone multigrid methods are globally convergent. We take a closer look at two natural variants, which are called symmetric and unsymmetric multigrid methods, respectively. While the asymptotic convergence rates of the symmetric method suffer from insufficient coarse--grid transport, it turns out in our numerical experiments that reasonable application of the unsymmetric multigrid method may lead to the same efficiency as in the linear, unconstrained case.
