Zusammenfassung:Abstract: "In this paper we take a new look at numerical techniques for solving parabolic equations by the method of lines. The main motivation for the proposed approach is the possibility to exploit a high degree of parallelism in a simple manner. The basic idea of the method is to approximate the action of the evolution operator on a given state vector by means of a projection process onto a Krylov subspace. Thus, the resulting approximation consists of applying an evolution operator of very small dimension to a known vector. This is in turn computed accurately by exploiting well-known rational approximations to the exponential
Since the rational approximation is only applied to a small matrix, the only operations required with the original large matrix are matrix by vector products, and as a result the algorithm can easily by parallelized and vectorized. Some relevant approximation and stability issues are discussed. We present numerical experiments with the method on a Cray Y-MP and compare its performance with a few explicit and implicit algorithms.
