- Cyclic Reduction: History and Recent Developments
-
- Cyclic reduction was originally a technique developed to solve
- tri-diagonal systems of linear equations. Subsequently it was found
- that the same device can be used for solving block tri-diagonal
- systems and in particular systems that arise in the discretization of
- Poisson's equation. Here we describe these methods and show how they
- can be used in connection with a variety of problems. The algorithms
- seem particularly appropriate for parallel architectures.
