We consider 2nd order elliptic problems, i.e. strong elliptic ones, singular perturbation problems and problems with locally strongly varying or discontinuous coefficient functions. We report on the results of our numerical experiments which show that especially the algebraic multigrid based method is mostly robust also in the additive case.} }
