While parallelisation in time has allowed remarkable speed-ups in applications involving parabolic equations, its effectiveness in the hyperbolic framework remains debatable: growth of instabilities and slow convergence are both strong issues in this case, which often negate most of the advantages from time-parallelisation. Here, we focus on the Multigrid Reduction in Time (MGRIT) algorithm, investigating in detail its performance when applied to non-linear conservation laws with a variety of discretisation schemes. Specific attention is given to high-accuracy Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) reconstructions, coupled with Strong Stability Preserving (SSP) integrators, which are often the discretisations of choice for such PDEs. A technique to improve the performance of MGRIT when applied to a low-order, more dissipative scheme is also outlined. This study aims at identifying the main causes for degradation in the convergence speed of the algorithm, and finds the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy (CFL) limit to be the principal determining factor.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.09404v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.09404v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"multigrid-reduction-in-time-for-non-linear","repo_url":"https://gitlab.com/fdanieli/mgrit_non-linear_hyperbolic","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":"https://syntology.ai/paper/2104.09404","atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2104.09404","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
