Abstract

In the present paper we give a convergence theory for multi-grid methods with transforming smoothers as introduced in [31] applied to a general system of partial differential equations. The theory follows Hackbusch's approach for scalar pde and allows a convergence proof for some well-known multi-grid methods for Stokes- and Navier-Stokes equations as DGS by Brandt-Dinar, [5], TILU from [31] and the SIMPLE-methods by Patankar-Spalding, [23].
