The main purpose of this work is to set up the explicit matrix framework appropriate to three-dimensional partial differential equations by means of the incremental unknowns method. Multilevel schemes of the incremental unknowns are presented in the three space dimensions, and through numerical experiments, we confirm that the incremental unknowns method is efficient and the hierarchical preconditioning based on the incremental unknowns can be applied in a more general form.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
