Solution of elliptic equations using fast Poisson solvers. (English) Zbl 0534.65055

Summary: Certain nonseparable elliptic equations may be transformed into a sequence of Poisson equations. The solutions of these equations are efficiently found using fast Poisson solvers. The method is illustrated by solving for the internal electric potential in convecting plasma clouds.
