    Helper macro to invert (linear) spatial operators

    The macro below can be used to easily invert linear systems described by stencils i.e. \displaystyle \mathcal{L}(a) = b For example, let us consider the Poisson equation \displaystyle \nabla^2 a = b where a is unknown and b is given. This can be discretised as

    (a[1] + a[-1] + a[0,1] + a[0,-1] - 4.*a[])/sq(Delta) = b[];

    This can be solved using the macro below and a multigrid solver with

    solve (a, (a[1] + a[-1] + a[0,1] + a[0,-1] - 4.*a[])/sq(Delta), b);

    The macro can take the same optional arguments as mg_solve() to tune the multigrid solver.

    The multigrid statistics are stored in solve_stats.

    #include "poisson.h"
    static mgstats solve_stats;

    Implementation

    Note that the large macro below is a slightly simplified version of the mg_solve() and mg_cycle() functions where more documentation can be found.
