  ABSTRACT: In this paper, a high order compact difference scheme and a multigrid method are proposed for solving two-dimensional (2D) elliptic problems with variable coefficients and interior/boundary layers on nonuniform grids. Firstly, the original equation is transformed from the physical domain (with a nonuniform mesh) to the computational domain (with a uniform mesh) by using a coordinate transformation. Then, a fourth order compact difference scheme is proposed to solve the transformed elliptic equation on uniform girds. After that, a multigrid method is employed to solve the linear algebraic system arising from the difference equation. At last, the numerical experiments on some elliptic problems with interior/boundary layers are conducted to show high accuracy and high efficiency of the present method.
