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.

“A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Commerce is unexpectedly confident and serene, alert, adventurous, and unwearied. It is very natural in its methods withal, far more so than many fantastic enterprises and sentimental experiments, and hence its singular success.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There’s one solution that ends all life’s problems.”
—Chinese proverb.
