The numerical solutioit of vector field problems on digital computers is a slow process, especially when the characteristics of the regions investigated vary considerably. A method for the acceleration of the convergence of iterative procedures is described and applied to linear and non-linear problems. Physical considerations based on Stokes' theorem are utilized to modify Southwell's relaxation technique.
