An Acceleration Method for Stationary Iterative Solution to Linear System of Equations

Abstract

An acceleration scheme based on stationary iterative methods is presented for solving linear system of equations. Unlike Chebyshev semi-iterative method which requires accurate estimation of the bounds for iterative matrix eigenvalues, we use a wide range of Chebyshev-like polynomials for the accelerating process without estimating the bounds of the iterative matrix. A detailed error analysis is presented and convergence rates are obtained. Numerical experiments are carried out and comparisons with classical Jacobi and Chebyshev semi-iterative methods are provided.
