Excerpt from Diagonal Scalings of the Laplacian as Preconditioners for Other Elliptic Differential Operators
The spaces defined by and are both A-orthogonal and C-orthogonal to one another, and together they span all of R. The technique of expressing a given vector as a sum of vectors from each space will be used in the proofs throughout the paper.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of diagonal scalings of the Laplacian matrix as a method for preconditioning (improving the conditioning of) matrices that arise from second-order elliptic differential equations. The author proves that for a class of diffusion equations with discontinuous diffusion coefficients, the optimal diagonal scaling is the identity matrix as the mesh size approaches zero. This is in contrast to the case of diffusion equations with continuously varying coefficients, where numerical evidence suggests that the optimal diagonal scaling is approximately equal to the square root of the diagonal of the matrix. The book provides a theoretical framework for understanding the behavior of diagonal scalings of the Laplacian as preconditioners and offers insights into the relationship between the properties of the diffusion equation and the effectiveness of this preconditioning technique.
