Back in June, 2011, petros posted a question to the user's list
about multi-array and pdes:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/68017

Later, he posted a question about rotating the arrays axes:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/68718/match=multi_array+rotated+views

to help solve a pde using ADI (Alternating Direction Implicit):

In response, I prototyped a method using ADI and mentioned it
here:

HTH.
