A multigrid method for saddle point problems arising from mortar finite element discretizations. (English) Zbl 0958.65135

The author analyzes a multigrid algorithm for saddle point problems arising from mortar finite element discretizatoins. It is not required that the constraints at the interface are satisfied in each smooth step but the squared system is used. Using mesh dependent norms for the Lagrange multipliers, suitable approximation and smoothing properties are established. A convergence rate independent of the meshsize is obtained for the \(W\)-cycle.
