Waveform relaxation techniques have become increasingly important with the wide availability of parallel computers with a large number of processors. A limiting factor for classical waveform relaxation, however, is the convergence speed for an important class of problems, especially if long time windows are considered. In contrast, the optimized waveform relaxation algorithm discussed in this paper is well suited to address this problem. Today several numerical analyses have shown that…
