Abstract

Fast and efficient solution techniques are developed for high-dimensional parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). In this paper we present a robust solver based on the Krylov subspace method Bi-CGSTAB combined with a powerful, and efficient, multigrid preconditioner. Instead of developing the perfect multigrid method, as a stand-alone solver for a single problem discretized on a certain grid, we aim for a method that converges well for a wide class of discrete problems arising from discretization on various anisotropic grids. This is exactly what we encounter during a sparse grid computation of a high-dimensional problem. Different multigrid components are discussed and presented with operator construction formulae. An option-pricing application is focused and presented with results computed with this method.
