I might not be the right person to address some of the things mentioned above which is beyond what I have seen with this subject. For instance, in terms of the eignevalues of this system, I am not aware if there is an expression that easily gives them. I don't see anything mentioned in my numerical

Recalculating the approach given on the wiki page, I realized that there is a sign flaw regarding the right-hand-side of the equation system. Since the block tridiagonal notion of A uses signs flipped with respect to the discretetized 2 dimensional Poisson equation (given in the first formula on the

I really don't want to get into the middle of this, but I would like to re-emphasize one point Sławomir made: for scientific and mathematical articles in Knowledge, the general rule is general reference in cases like this. One or a small number of references are given that cover a large portion of

This is a good example of what I mean. I have gone though my numerical methods books as well as papers I Xeroxed out of some journals, and I don't see this expression. It seems to me having all the eigenvalues should be very helpful in solving the Poisson equation, so I am wondering if there is a
