The main purpose of this paper is the analysis of the behaviour of (nonlinear) Chebyshev relaxation in multigrid methods for solving the implicit relations obtained when an implicit linear multistep method is applied to the space‐discretized parabolic differential equation. The relaxation parameters are tuned to those frequencies in the iteration error which one wants to damp on the successive grids. The coarsest grid problem, being related to the semi‐discrete parabolic equation on the coarsest grid, is solved by a stabilized Runge‐Kutta method. Numerical experiments and comparison with Gauss‐Seidel relaxation are reported.
