The traditional method for solving the heat conduction equation numerically is the [[Crank–Nicolson method]]. This method canresults bein quitea very complicated set of equations in multiple dimensions, which are costly to solve. The advantage of the ADI method is that the equations that have to be solved in everyeach iterationstep have a simpler structure and arecan thusbe easiersolved toefficiently solvewith the [[tridiagonal matrix algorithm]].
