In [[mathematics]], the '''alternating direction implicit (ADI)''' method is a [[finite difference]] method for solving differential equations. It is most notably used to solve the problem of [[heat conduction]] or solving the [[diffusion equation]] in two or more dimensions.
 
The traditional method for solving the heat conduction equation is the method of [[Crank-Nicolson]]. This method is implicit, but has an unaffordable stability criterion in 2two or more dimensions.
