Solving Ax = b with sparse A and sparse b

Let's suppose I'm numerically solving the Poisson equation for a delta function source: $$ \nabla^2 f(x) = \delta(x-x') $$ I can represent the Laplacian $\nabla^2$ using the finite difference method ...

Iteratively solving 3D Poisson equation in MATLAB

I have written a function that sets up a sparse matrix A and RHS b for the 3D Poisson equation in a relatively efficient way. The set-up is nothing fancy: I have extended the 2D 5-point stencil to an ...

Assembling sparse matrix in PETSC for Poisson equation

I am a novice at PETSC, and I have been trying to write an FVM code for steady heat conduction in 2D using PETSC (square, regular grid, Dirichlet boundaries) Since the large matrix , say A, will be ...
