A Fast Multigrid Approach for Solving the Helmholtz Equation with a Point Source
04 Feb 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Eran Treister
Solving the discretized Helmholtz equations with high wave numbers in large dimensions is a challenging task. However, in many scenarios, the solution of these equations is required for a point source. In this case, the problem can be be reformulated and split into two parts: one in a solution...

A Multigrid Method for the Self-Adjoint Angular Flux Form of the Radiation-Transport Equation Based on Cellwise Block Jacobi Iteration
04 Feb 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Jeffrey Densmore
Cellwise block Jacobi iteration is a technique for radiation-transport calculations in which the angular flux for all directions is solved for simultaneously within a spatial cell with the angular flux in neighboring cells held fixed. Each step of the iteration then involves the inversion of a...

Discretization of Elliptic Differential Equations Using Sparse Grids and Prewavelets
04 Feb 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Christoph Pflaum
Sparse grids can be used to discretize second order elliptic differential equations on a d-dimensional cube. Using Galerkin discretization, we obtain a linear equation system with unknowns. The corresponding discretization error is in the -norm. A major difficulty in...
