Abstract: This thesis is concerned with iterative and monotone methods for numerical
solutions of nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems. The methods we study here
are called block iterative methods, which solve the nonlinear elliptic problems in twodimensional
domain in R2 or higher dimensional domain in Rn. In these methods the
nonlinear boundary value problem is discretized by the finite difference method. Two
iteration processes, block Jacobi and block Gauss-Seidel monotone iterations, are
investigated for computation of solutions of finite difference system using either an
upper solution or a lower solution as the initial iteration. The numerical examples are
presented for both linear and nonlinear problems, and for both block and pointwise
methods. The numerical results are compared and discussed.
