I put together a complete sor.ps ------------- file using dvips. smoothing.*: --------- Multigrid Smoothing Factors for Red-Black Gauss-Seidel Applied to a Class of Elliptic Operators Irad Yavneh Analytic formulae are obtained for the smoothing factors yielded by Gauss-Seidel relaxation in two-color ordering for a class of scalar elliptic operators. Block and point relaxation, in conjunction with full or partial coarsening, are encompassed for operators with general (constant, positive) coefficients in general dimensions and for an arbitrary number of relaxation sweeps. It is found that there is no direct dependence of the smoothing factors on the dimension, and that the effect of the number of relaxation sweeps on the smoothing factor is usually independent of the operator coefficients and of the relaxation scheme. The results are compared to computed results of two-level analyses. Smoothing strategies implied by the formulae are discussed. sor.*: --- On Red Black SOR Smoothing in Multigrid Irad Yavneh Optimal relaxation parameters are obtained for red-black Gauss-Seidel relaxation in multigrid solvers of a family of elliptic equations. The resulting relaxation schemes are found to retain very high efficiency over an appreciable range of coefficients of the elliptic differential operator, yielding simple, inexpensive and fully parallelizable smoothers in many situations where less cost-effective block- and alternating-direction schemes are commonly used. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 20 May 94 15:29:36 GMT-0100 From: torsten.steidten@mathematik.tu-chemnitz.de Subject: MGNet Bibliography Additions from the Universitaet Chemnitz Dear Prof. Douglas, at first thank you very much for sending us the multigrid newsletters.

I can use source code in either FORTRAN or C. Specifically, I need to solve a cylindrically symmetric problem ( space dimensions are radius and angle ) for the electric field potential, E, and the electron density in a high current electron tube which focuses electrons emitted from a cathode onto a small anode. Does anyone know of such a code? Thanks, Steve Wineberg ------------------------------ End of MGNet Digest **************************
