Abstract
This paper studies finite element discretizations for three types of time-dependent PDEs, namely heat equation, scalar conservation law and wave equation, which we reformulate as first order systems in a least-squares setting, subject to a space-time conservation constraint (coming from the original PDE). Available piecewise polynomial finite element spaces in (n+1)-dimensions for functional spaces from the (n+1)-dimensional de Rham sequence for n=2,3 are used for the implementation of the method. Computational results illustrating the error behavior, iteration counts and performance of block-diagonal and monolithic geometric multigrid preconditioners are presented for the discrete CFOSLS system. The results are obtained from a parallel implementation of the methods for which we report reasonable scalability.
