Analysis on eigenvalues for preconditioning cubic spline collocation method of elliptic equations (Q5935356)

The authors consider the cubic spline collocation methods for the Dirichlet-Neumann problem on the unit square for the equation \[ -\Delta u+ a_1(x, y)u_x+ a_2(x, y)u_y+ a(x, y)u= f \] and investigate efficient preconditioning techniques. They first analyze the eigenvalues of the resulting preconditioned matrix in the one-dimensional case. The two-dimensional analysis for eigenvalues, is basically developed from the one-dimensional argument.
