Abstract
This paper is devoted to the construction of a new multilevel preconditioner for operators discretized using finite differences. It uses the basic ingredients of a multiscale construction of the inverse of a variable coefficient elliptic differential operator derived by Tchamitchian [19]. It can be implemented fast and can therefore be easily incorporated in finite difference solvers for elliptic PDEs. Theoretical results, as well as numerical tests and implementation technical details are presented.
