abstract
Two preconditioning techniques for solving difference equations arising in finite difference approximation of elliptic problems on cellcentered grids are studied. It is proven that the BEPS and the FAC preconditioners are spectrally equivalent to the corresponding finite difference schemes, including a nonsymmetric one, which is of higherorder accuracy. Numerical experiments that demonstrate the fast convergence of the preconditioned iterative methods (CG and GCGLS in the nonsymmetric case) are presented. Copyright 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
