This is Part 2 of a report-pair concerning application of the
tensor product in solving large sets of simultaneous linear
equations arising in finite element formulations of Numerical
Weather Prediction problems. A rectangular region having a graded mesh with Dirichlet boundary conditions on all four edges
is considered. Coefficient matrices are the "mass" matrix and
the "stiffness" matrix of the finite element method. For the stiffness matrix, which appears in Poisson's equation, operation counts and storage requirements are compared with corresponding numbers for solutions by successive over-relaxation and Gaussian elimination. FORTRAN programs for implementation of the tensor product formulations are given.Naval Environmental Prediction Research
