ABSTRACT
Combining iterative methods with appropriate preconditioners is a worthwhile effort in improving the performances of the methods since the reliability of these methods have been shown to improve by the use of appropriate preconditioning techniques. However, the hardest issue is to find the suitable preconditioners which are computationally inexpensive and easy to solve for the group methods. The aim of this paper is to study the performance of the Explicit Group (EG) method (Evans & Yousif 1986) preconditioned by a specific ‘splitting’ approach in solving the two dimensional elliptic partial differential equation. Our goal in this work is to investigate whether the performance of this group method is affected by this preconditioner. The experimental work performed is reported and discussed.
Keywords: Preconditioner; Explicit Group Methods; elliptic equation
ABSTRAK
Menggabungkan kaedah-kaedah lelaran dengan prasyarat yang sesuai merupakan suatu usaha yang berfaedah dalam memperbaiki prestasi kaedah tersebut kerana keberkesanan kaedah-kaedah sebegini telah dapat ditunjukkan menjadi lebih baik dengan penggunaan teknik berprasyarat yang bersesuaian. Walau bagaimanapun, isu yang paling rumit ialah dalam mencari prasyarat yang sesuai yang tidak tinggi kos pengiraannya dan mudah diselesaikan untuk kaedah berkumpulan itu. Tujuan kertas ini ialah untuk mengkaji prestasi kaedah Kumpulan Tak Tersirat (KTT) (Evans & Yousif 1986) yang diprasyaratkan oleh pendekatan ‘pemisahan’ yang spesifik dalam menyelesaikan persamaan pembezaan separa eliptik. Sasaran kerja ini adalah untuk menyelidik sama ada prestasi kaedah berkumpulan ini dipengaruhi oleh prasyarat tersebut. Hasil kerja ujikaji yang dijalankan dilapor dan dibincangkan.
Kata kunci: Prasyarat; Kaedah Kumpulan Tak Tersirat; persamaan eliptik
