The Laboratory of Difference Methods was founded by A.A.Samarsky, Academician of RAS, in the middle of the 60s. For more than 50 years the Laboratory?s theoretical research has been focused on numerical methods for problems described by systems of partial differential equations. Methods and algorithms developed by the scientific researchers have been implemented in a general-purpose program library and problem-oriented packages. They are used for numerical simulation in microelectronics, magnetic hydrodynamics, magnetic gas dynamics, supersonic plasma aerodynamics and for solving elasticity theory problems.
