contents In this paper, we propose an efficient extrapolation cascadic multigrid (EXCMG) method combined with 25-point difference approximation to solve the three-dimensional biharmonic equation. First, through applying Richardson extrapolation and quadratic interpolation on numerical solutions on current and previous grids, a third-order approximation to the finite difference solution can be obtained and used as the iterative initial guess on the next finer grid. Then we adopt the bi-conjugate gradient (Bi-CG) method to solve the large linear system resulting from the 25-point difference approximation. In addition, an extrapolation method based on midpoint extrapolation formula is used to achieve higher-order accuracy on the entire finest grid. Finally, some numerical experiments are performed to show that the EXCMG method is an efficient solver for the 3D biharmonic equation.
