Matrix-Based Multigrid: Theory and ApplicationsPaperback, 29 November 2010

This book introduces and analyzes the multigrid approach for the numerical solution of large sparse linear systems arising from the discretization of elliptic partial differential equations. Special attention is given to the powerful matrix-based-multigrid approach, which is particularly useful for problems with variable coefficients and nonsymmetric and indefinite problems. This approach applies not only to model problems on rectangular grids but also to more realistic applications with complicated grids and domains and discontinuous coefficients.

This second edition offers improved content and provides more explanation for the non-expert.
