Abstract of Nov 26 1996 CPS615 Lecture

From CPS615-Finite Elements(Continued) and Conjugate Gradient Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 26 November 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Secs 67.6
This covers essentially all the finite element method and its solution using the conjugate gradient method
Only the simple 2D Laplace equation using triangular nodes is discussed
We stress variational method as an optimization method and you use this analogy to motivate conjugate gradient as an improved steepest descent approach
We discuss parallel computing issues for both finite element and conjugate gradient
