Foil 2 Abstract of CPS615 Finite Element/Conjugate Gradient Presentation

From CPS615 Finite Element and Conjugate Gradient Presentation CPS615 Fall Semester 95 Simulation Track -- 18 November 95. by Geoffrey C. Fox *

1 This derives the finite element method for a simple two dimensional Laplacian with triangular elements
2 We use this to motivate conjugate gradient as a variant of steepest descent for variational principle underlying FEM
3 We discuss preconditioning, parallelism and convergence of general conjugate gradient method
