CPS615-Finite Elements(Continued) and Conjugate Gradient

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science on 26 November 96. Foils prepared 29 December 1996

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


This mixed presentation uses parts of the following base foilsets which can also be looked at on their own!
