Abstract : Multigrid methods are the fastest known methods for the solution of the large systems of equations arising from the discretization of partial differential equations. For self-adjoint and coercive linear elliptic boundary value problems (with Laplace's equation and the equations of linear elasticity as two typical examples), the convergence theory reached a mature, if not its final state. The present article reviews old and new developments for this type of equation and describes the recent advances.,
