Foil 19 SLOR or Successive Line Over Relaxation Exemplified for Laplace's Equation

From Further PDE Solvers for the NAS Benchmarks CPSP713 Case studies in Computational Science -- Spring Semester 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 This is a variant of Gauss-Seidel where we solve not for single points at a time but for lines
2 We illustrate for Laplace case where simple Gauss-Seidel reads:
3 With two terms already known at n+1'th iteration and two yet to be determined
4 We now write the more general equation:
5 where we solve for all values of i at fixed j using known value at n+1'th iteration at index j-1 and using old n'th iteration value at index j+1
