Subject: IFISS Version 3.2 Software Release

The IFISS software toolbox may be used to generate prototype linear
equation systems arising from finite element discretizations of steady
and unsteady diffusion, convection-diffusion, Stokes flow and
Navier-Stokes flow problems.

It has built in geometric and algebraic multigrid methods,
state-of-the-art Krylov subspace solvers, and it includes a variety of
appropriate preconditioning strategies. Version 3.2 includes
functions for the efficient solution of unsteady buoyancy-driven flow
problems.

IFISS is freely available and can be run with Matlab or Octave.
For download, user guide, and other information see
http://www.manchester.ac.uk/ifiss/ or
