Abstract

A sparse algebraic multigrid method is studied as a cheap and accurate way to compute approximations of Schur complements of matrices arising from the discretization of some symmetric and positive definite partial differential operators. The construction of such a multigrid is discussed and numerical experiments are used to verify the properties of the method.
