LEAST-SQUARES FINITE ELEMENT METHODS AND ALGEBRAIC MULTIGRID SOLVERS FOR LINEAR HYPERBOLIC PDESyy H. DE STERCK yx, THOMAS A. MANTEUFFEL {, STEPHEN F. MCCORMICKyk, AND LUKE OLSONz Abstract. Least-squares nite element methods (LSFEM) for scalar linear partial di erential equations (PDEs) of hyperbolic type are studied.

1. Introduction. Least-squares nite element methods have always held out the attraction of yielding discrete linear systems that are symmetric and positive de nite even for problems for which other methods, e.g., mixed nite element methods, fail to do so; see, e.g., [2]{[48], [50]{[56], [58], and [60]{[84]. In many settings such as the

The overall e ectiveness of nite element methods may be limited by solutions that lack smooth-ness on a relatively small subset of the domain.

Subspace methods have been applied successfully in numerous visual recognition tasks such as face localization, face recognition, 3D object recognition, andtracking. In particular, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) [20] [13] ,andFisher Linear Dis criminant (FLD) methods [6] have been applied to face recognition with impressive results.

two of the most common methods, the maximum likelihood methods and the parsimony methods (Foulds and Graham, 1982). As a consequence bi-ologists have to use approximate optimization algorithms that use random starting points and certain random moves between trees. The resulting trees thus vary from run to run. The geometric model we introduce in
