Foil 23 Preconditioners and Other Partial Differential Equation Solution Schemes

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


1 There are a set of sophisticated methods of great importance as PDE solvers which are more powerful than simple iterative solvers
2 Alternating Direction Iterative ADI Solvers
  • This has already been discussed under the SP and BT NAS Benchmarks
  • It can be viewed as a general preconditioning method when matrix to be inverted can be written as a diagonal matrix plus the sum of easily solved matrices with small coefficients
3 Incomplete Cholesky Factorization
4 And two more which deserve major discussion but which we will overview very superficially
  • Domain Decomposition
  • Multigrid Methods
