Bank" Subject: Pltmg8.0 PLTMG 8.0 is a package for solving elliptic partial differential equations in general regions of the plane. It is based on continuous piecewise linear triangular finite elements, and features adaptive local mesh refinement, multigraph iteration, and pseudo-arclength continuation options for parameter dependencies. The package includes an initial mesh generator and several graphics packages. Full documentation is provided in PLTMG: A Software Package for Solving Elliptic Partial Differential Equations - Users' Guide 8.0 (ISBN 0-89871-409-5), available from SIAM Publications. PLTMG is provided as Fortran (and a little C) source code, in both single and double precision versions. The included X-Windows GUI uses the default Athena Widget set, and makes calls to standard library routines of the X-Windows system, which must be loaded along with the PLTMG software. PLTMG is available from Netlib and MGNet. Editor's Note: The previous version (7.2) is still on MGNet, but will be ------------- deleted eventually. You can find version 8.0 either in www.mgnet.org/mgnet-codes.html or in mgnet/Codes/pltmg. -----------------------------
