Abstract: | The solution of systems of equations arising from systems of time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs) is considered.
Primarily, first-order PDEs are studied, but second-order derivatives are also accounted for. The discretization is performed
using a general finite difference stencil in space and an implicit method in time. The systems of equations are solved by
a preconditioned Krylov subspace method. The preconditioners exploit optimal and superoptimal approximations by low-degree
polynomials in a normal basis matrix, associated with a fast trigonometric transform. Numerical experiments for high-order
accurate discretizations are presented. The results show that preconditioners based on fast transforms yield efficient solution
algorithms, even for large quotients between the time and space steps. Utilizing a spatial grid ratio less than one, the arithmetic
work per grid point is bounded by a constant as the number of grid points increases.
