Tolerance Proportionality and Computational Stability in Adaptive Parallel-in-Time Runge-Kutta Methods
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate how adaptive time-integration strategies can be effectively combined with parallel-in-time numerical methods for solving systems of ordinary differential equations. Our focus is particularly on their influence on tolerance proportionality. We examine various grid-refinement strategies within the multigrid reduction-in-time (MGRIT) framework. Our results show that a simple adjustment to the original refinement factor can substantially improve computational stability and reliability. Through numerical experiments on standard test problems using the XBraid library, we demonstrate that parallel-in-time solutions closely match their sequential counterparts. Moreover, with the use of multiple processors, computing time can be significantly reduced.
