Cyclic reduction is a mathematical and computational technique primarily used for solving certain types of linear systems, particularly those that arise in numerical simulations and finite difference methods for partial differential equations. This method is particularly effective for problems that can be defined on a grid and involve periodic boundary conditions. ### Key Features of Cyclic Reduction: 1. **Matrix Decomposition**: Cyclic reduction typically involves breaking down a large matrix into smaller submatrices.
