PMultigrid methods are the most efficient tools for solving elliptic boundaryvalue problems. The reader finds here an elementary introduction to multigridalgorithms as well as a comprehensive convergence analysis. One sectiondescribes special applications convectiondiffusion equations singularperturbation problems eigenvalue problems etc.. The book also contains acomplete presentation of the multigrid method of the second kind which hasimportant applications to integral equations e.g. the quotpanelmethodquot and to numerous other problems. Readers with a practical interestin multigrid methods will benefit from this book as well as readers with amore theoretical interest. P «
