Abstract

We extend the hierarchical transformation multigrid (HT-MG) method with semi-coarsening in space and time in order to tackle anisotropic problems. Semi-coarsening allows us to smooth on anisotropic grids and, thus to employ more advanced multigrid cycles, e.g. the so-called Q-cycle. Our numerical examples show that we can tackle anisotropic problems with the HT-MG method and the Q-cycle. We do not only apply the multigrid method in space directions but also in time directions where the Q-cycle is beneficial again.
