Methods of Solution
Because is block tridiagonal and sparse, many methods of solution have been developed to optimally solve this linear system for . Among the methods are a generalized Thomas algorithm, cyclic reduction, successive overrelaxation, and Fourier transforms. A theoretically optimal solution can also be computed using multigrid methods.

“Generalization, especially risky generalization, is one of the chief methods by which knowledge proceeds... Safe generalizations are usually rather boring. Delete that “usually rather.” Safe generalizations are quite boring.”
