Convergence proofs for the multi-grid iteration are known for the case of finite element equations and for the case of some difference schemes discretizing boundary value problems in a rectangular region. In the present paper we give criteria of convergence that apply to general difference schemes for boundary value problems in Lipschitzian regions. Furthermore, convergence is proved for the multi-grid algorithm with Gauss-Seidel’s iteration as smoothing procedure.
