    Notes: Summary. We derive globally convergent multigrid methods for discrete elliptic variational inequalities of the second kind as obtained from the approximation of related continuous problems by piecewise linear finite elements. The coarse grid corrections are computed from certain obstacle problems. The actual constraints are fixed by the preceding nonlinear fine grid smoothing. This new approach allows the implementation as a classical V-cycle and preserves the usual multigrid efficiency. We give $1-O(j^{-3})$ estimates for the asymptotic convergence rates. The numerical results indicate a significant improvement as compared with previous multigrid approaches.

    Notes: Induction heating of large steel slabs can be described by a coupled system of non-linear evolution equations of Stefan type represnting the temporal and spatial distribution of the induced magnetic field and the generated temperature within the slab. Discretizing these equations implicitly in time and by finite differences in space, at each time step the solution of a system of difference inclusions is required. For the solution of that system two multi-grid algorithms are given which, combined with a nested iteration type continuation strategy to proceed in time, result in computationally highly efficient schemes for the numerical simulation of the induction heating process.

    Notes: We consider the approximate solution of self-adjoint elliptic problems in three space dimensions by piecewise linear finite elements with respect to a highly non-uniform tetrahedral mesh which is generated adaptively. The arising linear systems are solved iteratively by the conjugate gradient method provided with a multilevel preconditioner. Here, the accuracy of the iterative solution is coupled with the discretization error. As the performance of hierarchical bases preconditioners deteriorates in three space dimensions, the BPX preconditioner is used, taking special care of an efficient implementation. Reliable a posteriori estimates for the discretization error are derived from a local comparison with the approximation resulting from piecewise quadratic elements. To illustrate the theoretical results, we consider a familiar model problem involving reentrant corners and a real-life problem arising from hyperthermia, a recent clinical method for cancer therapy.

    Notes: The potential distribution of bipolar, strongly reverse-biased pn-junctions can be described by a double obstacle problem for the Laplacian. The problem is solved by a self-adaptive finite-element method involving automatic termination criteria for the iterative solver, local error estimation and local mesh refinement. Special attention is paid to the efficient resolution of the geometries typically arising in semiconductor device simulation. The algorithm is applied to a reverse-biased pn-junction with multistep field plate and stop electrode to illustrate its efficiency and reliability.

    Description: The breakdown voltage highly depends on the electric field in the depletion area whose computation is the most time consuming part of the simulation. We present a self adaptive Finite Element Method which reduces dramatically the required computation time compared to usual Finite Difference Methods. A numerical example illustrates the efficiency and reliability of the algorithm.

    Description: We consider the discretization of obstacle problems for second order elliptic differential operators in three space dimensions by piecewise linear finite elements. Linearizing the discrete problems by suitable active set strategies, the resulting linear sub--problems are solved iteratively by preconditioned cg--iterations. We propose a variant of the BPX preconditioner and prove an $O(j)$ estimate for the resulting condition number. To allow for local mesh refinement we derive semi--local and local a posteriori error estimates. The theoretical results are illustrated by numerical computations.

    Description: A wide range of free boundary problems occurring in engineering andindustry can be rewritten as a minimization problem for astrictly convex, piecewise smooth but non--differentiable energy functional.The fast solution of related discretized problemsis a very delicate question, because usual Newton techniquescannot be applied. We propose a new approach based on convex minimization and constrained Newton type linearization. While convex minimization provides global convergence of the overall iteration, the subsequent constrained Newton type linearization is intended to accelerate the convergence speed. We present a general convergence theory and discuss several applications.

    Description: We consider the fast solution of large, piecewise smooth minimization problems as resulting from the approximation of elliptic free boundary problems. The most delicate question in constructing a multigrid method for a nonlinear, non--smooth problem is how to represent the nonlinearity on the coarse grids. This process usually involves some kind of linearization. The basic idea of monotone multigrid methods to be presented here is first to select a neighborhood of the actual smoothed iterate in which a linearization is possible and then to constrain the coarse grid correction to this neighborhood. Such a local linearization allows to control the local corrections at each coarse grid node in such a way that the energy functional is monotonically decreasing. This approach leads to globally convergent schemes which are robust with respect to local singularities of the given problem. The numerical performance is illustrated by approximating the well-known Barenblatt solution of the porous medium equation.
