A high-order compact difference scheme for solving the two-dimensional (2D) elliptic problems is proposed by including compact approximations to the leading truncation error terms of the central difference scheme. A multigrid method is employed to overcome the difficulties caused by conventional iterative methods when they are used to solve the linear algebraic system arising from the high-order compact scheme. Numerical experiments are conducted to test the accuracy and efficiency of the present method. The computed results indicate that the present scheme achieves the fourth-order accuracy and the effect of the multigrid method for accelerating the convergence speed is significant.

A new multigrid algorithm based on the method of self-correction for the solution of elliptic problems is described. The method exploits information contained in the residual to dynamically modify the source term (right-hand side) of the elliptic problem. It has shown that the self-correcting solver is more efficient at damping the short wavelength modes of the algebraic error than its standard equivalent. When used in conjunction with a multigrid method, the resulting solver displays an improved convergence rate with no additional computational work.
