5.7.2.3 Smoothing

The smoothing operators $ S_{_{\mathrm{pre}}}$ and $ S_{_{\mathrm{post}}}$ like $ \omega $-Jacobi, Gauß-Seidel and ILU (5.3 - 5.5) require as input an accumulated initial solution  $ \underline{{\ensuremath{\color{red}\mathfrak{u}}}}^0$, a distributed stored right hand side  $ \underline{{\ensuremath{\color{red}\mathfrak{u}}}}^0$ and a distributed matrix  $ {\ensuremath{\color{green}{\sf K}}}$. The iterated solution  $ \underline{{\ensuremath{\color{red}\mathfrak{u}}}}$ is accumulated in any case. Each iteration of a smoother requires at least one accumulation.
$ \Longrightarrow$
Vector  $ \underline{{\ensuremath{\color{red}\mathfrak{u}}}}_{q}$ is accumulated, $ \widehat{\underline{{\ensuremath{\color{red}\mathfrak{u}}}}} \makebox[0pt]{}_{q}$ and $ \widetilde{\underline{{\ensuremath{\color{red}\mathfrak{u}}}}} \makebox[0pt]{}_{q}$ are accumulated in any case.
$ \Longrightarrow$
Vector  $ \underline{{\ensuremath{\color{red}\mathfrak{w}}}}_{q}^0$ is also accumulated.
