About the name and logo of emg3d
The name emg3d is a portmanteau of electromagnetic (em), multigrid (mg), and three-dimensional (3D): emg3d is a three-dimensional multigrid solver for electromagnetic diffusion.
The symbol stands for the full (‘F’) multigrid cycling scheme through the different grid sizes. This is given, for a maximum of three coarsening steps, by:
h_
2h_ \ /
4h_ \ /\ /
8h_ \/\/ \/
See, for example, the theory section around Figure 16.
