Abstract

The rate of convergence to steady state of parabolic ADI solvers is analyzed in terms of the L2-norms of the residuals. The analysis allows one to predict the number of iterations necessary for convergence as function of the Courant number, λ. A simple modification of existing ADI codes is devised. It improves the convergence rate substantially and is insensitive to the Courant number in a large range of λ.
