Abstract

The multigrid V-cycle methods for adaptive finite element discretizations of two-dimensional elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients are considered. Under the conditions that the coefficient is quasi-monotone up to a constant and the meshes are locally refined by using the newest vertex bisection algorithm, some uniform convergence results are proved for the standard multigrid V-cycle algorithm with Gauss-Seidel relaxations performed only on new nodes and their immediate neighbours. The multigrid V-cycle algorithm uses $\mathcal{O}(N)$ operations per iteration and is optimal.
