  We present a new multigrid scheme for solving the Poisson equation with
Dirichlet boundary conditions on a Cartesian grid with irregular domain
boundaries. This scheme was developed in the context of the Adaptive Mesh
Refinement (AMR) schemes based on a graded-octree data structure. The Poisson
equation is solved on a level-by-level basis, using a "one-way interface"
scheme in which boundary conditions are interpolated from the previous coarser
level solution. Such a scheme is particularly well suited for self-gravitating
astrophysical flows requiring an adaptive time stepping strategy. By
constructing a multigrid hierarchy covering the active cells of each AMR level,
we have designed a memory-efficient algorithm that can benefit fully from the
multigrid acceleration. We present a simple method for capturing the boundary
conditions across the multigrid hierarchy, based on a second-order accurate
reconstruction of the boundaries of the multigrid levels. In case of very
complex boundaries, small scale features become smaller than the discretization
cell size of coarse multigrid levels and convergence problems arise. We propose
a simple solution to address these issues. Using our scheme, the convergence
rate usually depends on the grid size for complex grids, but good linear
convergence is maintained. The proposed method was successfully implemented on
distributed memory architectures in the RAMSES code, for which we present and
discuss convergence and accuracy properties as well as timing performances.
