Multigrid Methods: Axiomatic Convergence Theory for Linear and Weakly Nonlinear Problems

This book introduces the theory and application of multigrid methods for the fast numerical solution of linear and weakly nonlinear elliptic PDE. No previous exposure to numerical discretization methods is assumed. All that is required of the reader is curiosity and some basic knowledge of matrix theory and the theory of finite-dimensional vector spaces.

We use an axiomatic, mostly-matrix-based approach in the book, both as a way of presenting the theory in a natural and simple setting, and ...
