Abstract
This report presents our work on applying multigrid finite element techniques to the solution of electromagnetic scattering problems. We address in particular the topic of adaptive multigrid schedules. We demonstrate that multigrid algorithms based on these schedules are stable and efficient. We compare performances and results for analytically soluble problems, between single level methods and multigrid techniques with fixed and adaptive schedules.
