    Semi-coarsening AMLI algorithms for elasticity problems (English)
    0 references
    The author starts with analysis of approximation of a two-dimensional elasticity problem by bilinear rectangle finite elements with two semi-coarsening refinement procedures. For each semi-coarsening, the author gives new estimates for the constant \(\gamma \) in the strengthened Cauchy-Bunyakowski-Schwarz inequality that is independent of the Poisson ratio. The constant is then used in the convergence analysis of the algebraic multilevel iteration (AMLI) method proposed by \textit{O. Axelsson} and \textit{P. S. Vassilevski} [Numer. Math. 56, 157-177 (1989; Zbl 0673.65069)]. In particular, for balanced semi-coarsening mesh refinement, the author gets the optimal rate of convergence independent on the Poisson ratio. The latter result grants fast convergence even for almost incompressible elasticity problems.
