Summary:
The author studies the behaviour of a multi-level method that combines the Jacobi iterations and the correction by aggragation of unknowns. Our considerations are restricted to a simple one-dimensional example, which allows us to employ the technique of the Fourier analysis. Despite of this restriction we are able to demonstrate differences between the behaviour of the algorithm considered and of multigrid methods employing interpolation instead of aggregation.
