This book is the first one that combines both research in multigrid methods and a particular application field here - process simulation. It is the declared intention of this book to convince by practically demonstrating the power of the multigrid principle and to establish an example of fruitful interdisciplinary interaction. The introduction to multigrid is therefore strictly directed towards the goal to provide the algorithmical overview one needs to compose optimal multigrid algorithms for evolution problems of process simulation and similar applications. The necessary explanation how and why multigrid works is derived from the roots. So the book preassumes no advanced familiarity with numerical analysis. Additionally a complete strategy to implement different algorithmical components on an adaptive multilevel grid structure is presented. The outlined principle of grid definement and adaption is based on the control of errors and is reliable as well as general. Last but not least the described strategies are applied to "real life" peoblems of process simulation. Consequently this book is an important contribution to the interdisciplinary challenge of improving numerical techniques for diffusion problems of process simulation.

It was about 1985 when both of the authors started their work using multigrid methods for process simulation problems. This happened in dependent from each other, with a completely different background and different intentions in mind. At this time, some important monographs appeared or have been in preparation. There are the three "classical" ones, from our point of view: the so-called "1984 Guide" [12J by Brandt, the "Multi-Grid Methods and Applications" [49J by Hackbusch and the so-called "Fundamentals" [132J by Stiiben and Trottenberg. Stiiben and Trottenberg in [132J state a "delayed acceptance, resent ments" with respect to multigrid algorithms. They complain: "Nevertheless, even today's situation is still unsatisfactory in several respects. If this is true for the development of standard methods, it applies all the more to the area of really difficult, complex applications." In spite of all the above mentioned publications and without ignoring important theoretical and practical improvements of multigrid, this situa tion has not yet changed dramatically. This statement is made under the condition that a numerical principle like multigrid is "accepted", if there exist "professional" programs for research and production purposes. "Professional" in this context stands for "solving complex technical prob lems in an industrial environment by a large community of users". Such a use demands not only for fast solution methods but also requires a high robustness with respect to the physical parameters of the problem.
