Successive Over Relaxation Method: U U U U

Successive Over Relaxation Method
Any second order Elliptic Equation e.g. Laplace Equation, while solving by FD
method, always reduces to a equation containing u i , j , u i 1, j , u i 1, j and u i , j 1 which for different
values of ( i, j) may be converted to a system of equations. Rewriting equation (1.3) again:
ui1, j ui1, j ui , j 1 ui , j 1 4ui , j (x) 2 f (ix, jy ).
Putting j =1, i =1,2,-------,N, then j =2, i =1,2,--------,N and in the same manner
j = M, i =1,2,----- ,N, thus finally we obtain a system of M N equations which are solved by
any convenient method to get ui, j at all nodes. This is one of the Implicit scheme but however
sometimes the size of the system becomes so large that it is unmanageable. Hence this
method is not an efficient way for solving Elliptic PDE.
In order to increase the accuracy , the scheme (1.3) known as Five-Point Scheme,
can be modified to get a Nine-Point Scheme. This scheme in the form of computational
molecule can be written as:
(4)ui,j+1
(1)ui1,j+1 (1)ui+1,j=1
(4)ui1,j (4)ui+1,j
(20)ui,j
(1)ui1,j1 (1)ui+1,j1
(4)ui,j1
Scheme (2.1) has error of o( x )4 which is sufficiently less than Five-Point Scheme, but it
involves more computational complexity.
Another way of increasing accuracy, is to modify the scheme for solving the equation (1.4). One
of the technique used for this purpose is the Successive over relaxation (SOR) method.
To explain its implementation, we can write

u in, j 1 ( RHS of Gauss - Seidel method ) ( 1)u in, j
is called as a relaxation parameter. It is verified that for over relaxation method ,1< <2.

u(0,y) =0, u(0.75,y) =10 and u(x,0) =0, u(x,0.75) =10.
Obtain the solution at the internal nodes: (1) using symmetry (2) without using symmetry.
