Unfixed Bias Iterator: A New Iterative Format by Zeqing Zhang, Xue Wang, Jiamin Shen, Man Zhang, Sen Yang, Fanchang Yang, Wei Zhao, Jia Wang

“…Partial differential equations (PDEs) have a wide range of applications in physics and computational science. Solving PDEs numerically is usually done by first meshing the solution region with finite difference method (FDM) and then using iterative methods to obtain an approximation of the exact solution on these meshes, hence decades of research to design iterators with fast convergence properties. …”
