Abstract of PDE and Iterative Solver CPS615 Module

From CPS615 Module on Iterative PDE Solvers CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox *

This Introduces the three fundamental types of PDE's -- Elliptic, Parabolic and Hyperbolic and studies the numerical solution of Elliptic Equations

The sparse matrix formulation is used and iterative approachs -- Jacobi, Gauss Seidel and SOR are defined

These are motivated by analogies between equilibrium of diffusive equations and elliptic systems

Eigenvalue analysis is used to discuss convergence of methods
