BoSSS: A package for multigrid extended discontinuous Galerkin methods

The software package BoSSS serves the discretization of (steady-state or time-dependent) partial differential equations with discontinuous coefficients and/or time-dependent domains by means of an eXtended Discontinuous Galerkin (XDG, resp. DG) method, aka. cut-cell DG or unfitted DG. This work consists of two major parts: First, the XDG method is introduced and a formal notation is developed, which captures important numerical details such as cell-agglomeration and a multigrid framework. In the second part, iterative solvers for extended DG systems are presented and their performance is evaluated. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
