A review of current studies on complexity of algorithms for partial differential equations
Pages 197 - 201
Abstract
We review current work in analytic computational complexity of sequential algorithms for partial differential equations. Included are studies which analyze and compare classes of algorithms for hyperbolic, elliptic and parabolic problems. Emphasis is on the criteria and techniques used to perform the analysis and comparisons.
