  2. Poisson equation: given Approximating Poisson equation: given

  3. u given on the boundary h e.g., u= function ofu's andf Solution algorithm: approximating Poisson eq. Point-by-point RELAXATION

  4. Solving PDE: Influence of pointwise relaxation on the error Error of initial guess Error after 5 relaxation sweeps Error after 10 relaxations Error after 15 relaxations Fast error smoothingslow solution

  5. When relaxation slows down: the error is a sum of low eigen-vectors ELLIPTIC PDE'S (e.g., Poisson equation) the error is smooth The error can be approximated on a coarser grid
