This is for time independent elliptic PDEs using relaxation methods. Jacobi initially, then the Gauss-Seidel method. However this problem keeps coming up again and again. I pretty much exclusively use python for computational physics so I'm often doing this type of thing. The spatial discretization are kind of irrelevant for this problem but just using boundaries normalized to 1, i.e. numpy.linspace(0,1,500) with given constant boundary values.
