Abstract
We study the method which is obtained when a multi-grid method (in space) is first applied directly to a parabolic intitial-boundary value problem, and discretization in time is done only afterwards. This approach is expected to be well-suited to parallel computation. Further, time marching can be done using different time step-sizes in different parts of the spatial domain.
