Popis: In an earlier work Manteuffel and Parter discussed the role of boundary conditions in obtaining elliptic operators B so that the preconditioned operators $B_h^{ - 1} A_h $ or $A_h B_h^{ - 1} $ have uniformly bounded $L_2 $ condition number. Here A is the original elliptic operator and $A_h $ and $B_h $ are discretizations. Certain computations, mostly one-dimensional, were undertaken to illustrate and understand these results. These computational experiments provided several surprises. This current work describes those experiments and some subsequent experiments together with theoretical explanations of these surprising results. One of the main points of this report is the discussion of interaction of experimental results with the ensuing development of the theory.
