The discrete biharmonic equation on a rectangular region and the discrete Poisson equation on an irregular region can be treated as modifications to matrix problems with very special structure. We show how to use the direct method of matrix decomposition to formulate an effective numerical algorithm for these problems. For typical applications the operation count is \$O(N^3 )\$ for an \$N N\$ grid. Numerical comparisons with other techniques are included.
