PyAMG requires numpy and scipy

  pip install pyamg

or

  python setup.py install

PyAMG is a library of Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) solvers with a convenient Python interface.

PyAMG is developed by Nathan Bell, Luke Olson, and Jacob Schroder, in the Deparment of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Portions of the project were partially supported by the NSF under award DMS-0612448.

AMG is a multilevel technique for solving large-scale linear systems with optimal or near-optimal efficiency. Unlike geometric multigrid, AMG requires little or no geometric information about the underlying problem and develops a sequence of coarser grids directly from the input matrix. This feature is especially important for problems discretized on unstructured meshes and irregular grids.

PyAMG features implementations of:

• Ruge-Stuben (RS) or Classical AMG
• AMG based on Smoothed Aggregation (SA)

and experimental support for:

• Adaptive Smoothed Aggregation (αSA)
• Compatible Relaxation (CR)

The predominant portion of PyAMG is written in Python with a smaller amount of supporting C++ code for performance critical operations.

PyAMG is easy to use! The following code constructs a two-dimensional Poisson problem and solves the resulting linear system with Classical AMG.

import pyamg
import numpy as np
A = pyamg.gallery.poisson((500,500), format='csr')  # 2D Poisson problem on 500x500 grid
ml = pyamg.ruge_stuben_solver(A)                    # construct the multigrid hierarchy
print(ml)                                           # print hierarchy information
b = np.random.rand(A.shape[0])                      # pick a random right hand side
x = ml.solve(b, tol=1e-10)                          # solve Ax=b to a tolerance of 1e-8
print("residual: ", np.linalg.norm(b-A*x))          # compute norm of residual vector
