PyAMG requires numpy and scipy
pip install pyamg
or from source:
pip install .
(python setup.py install will no longer work)
or with conda (see details below)
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda install pyamg
PyAMG is a library of Algebraic Multigrid (AMG) solvers with a convenient Python interface.
PyAMG is currently developed and maintained by
Luke Olson,
Jacob Schroder, and
Ben Southworth.
The organization of the project can be found in organization.md and
examples of use can be found in pyamg-examples.

Create an issue.
-
Look at the Tutorial or the examples (for instance the 0_start_here example).
-
Run the unit tests (
pip install pytest):- With PyAMG installed and from a non-source directory:
import pyamg pyamg.test()
- From the PyAMG source directory and installed (e.g. with
pip install -e .):
pytest .
AMG is a multilevel technique for solving large-scale linear systems with optimal or near-optimal efficiency. Unlike geometric multigrid, AMG requires little or no geometric information about the underlying problem and develops a sequence of coarser grids directly from the input matrix. This feature is especially important for problems discretized on unstructured meshes and irregular grids.
PyAMG features implementations of:
- Ruge-Stuben (RS) or Classical AMG
- AMG based on Smoothed Aggregation (SA)
and experimental support for:
- Adaptive Smoothed Aggregation (αSA)
- Compatible Relaxation (CR)
The predominant portion of PyAMG is written in Python with a smaller amount of supporting C++ code for performance critical operations.
PyAMG is easy to use! The following code constructs a two-dimensional Poisson problem and solves the resulting linear system with Classical AMG.
import pyamg
import numpy as np
A = pyamg.gallery.poisson((500,500), format='csr') # 2D Poisson problem on 500x500 grid
ml = pyamg.ruge_stuben_solver(A) # construct the multigrid hierarchy
print(ml) # print hierarchy information
b = np.random.rand(A.shape[0]) # pick a random right hand side
x = ml.solve(b, tol=1e-10) # solve Ax=b to a tolerance of 1e-10
print("residual: ", np.linalg.norm(b-A*x)) # compute norm of residual vectorProgram output:
