 \subsection{Heat conduction equation}\index{heat conduction}
 First, we consider a two-dimensional heat conduction problem defined on a unit square. The heat conduction equation is a parabolic partial differential diffusion equation, including both spatial and temporal derivatives. It describes how the diffusion of heat in a medium changes with time. Diffusion equations are of great importance in many fields of sciences, e.g., fluid dynamics, where the fluid motion is uniquely described by the Navier-Stokes equations, which include a diffusive viscous term~\cite{ch5:chorin1993,ch5:Ferziger1996}.%, or in financial science where diffusive terms are present in the Black-Scholes equations for estimation of option price trends~\cite{}.

 One benefit of the high abstraction level and the template-based library design is to allow developers to implement their own components, such as iterative methods for solving sparse linear systems. The library includes three popular iterative methods: conjugate gradient, defect correction\index{defect correction}, and geometric multigrid. The conjugate gradient method is applicable only to systems with symmetric positive definite matrices. This is true for the two-dimensional Poisson problem, when it is discretized with a five-point finite difference stencil, because then there will be no off-centered approximations near the boundary. For high-order approximations ($\alpha>1$), we use the defect correction method with multigrid preconditioning. See e.g., \cite{ch5:Trottenberg2001} for details on multigrid methods.
