DD$\alpha$AMG stands for \textbf{D}omain \textbf{D}ecomposition $\pmb{\alpha}$daptive \textbf{A}lgebraic \textbf{M}ulti\textbf{G}rid. Let's first explore each term's meaning with what we know about Multigrid methods.

\item \textbf{DD:} The smoother is a \textbf{D}omain \textbf{D}ecomposition method, specifically, the Schwarz Alternating Procedure (SAP).

\item \textbf{AMG}: This construction is of the \textbf{A}lgebraic type, in a \textbf{M}ulti\textbf{G}rid context. More specifically, coarse grid variables are determined in an \textit{aggregation based maner}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\item $\pmb{\alpha}$: Stands for \textit{adaptive}, i.e., there is a setup phase which, starting from scratch, determines a sequence of increasingly better prolongators and restrictors using the multigrid method built so far.
