In this talk we consider a novel parallel-in-time algorithm for time-periodic problems where the period is not given. Inheriting the idea of the periodic Parareal approach PP-PC [1], the proposed method uses discretization on a two-level grid and calculates not only the initial values at each subinterval but also the corresponding period iteratively. This approach extends the multiple shooting method with unknown period [2] by the Parareal-based approximation of the Jacobian. A particular diagonalization of the resulting nonlinear time-periodic coarse-grid system [3] is introduced, thereby permitting further parallelization on the coarse level. Performance of the introduced algorithm is illustrated for a Colpitt oscillator model.
