On the NPHSS-KPIK iteration method for low-rank complex Sylvester equations arising from time-periodic fractional diffusion equations.

Based on the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian (HS) splitting for non-Hermitian matrices, a nonalternating preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting-Krylov plus inverted Krylov subspace (NPHSS-KPIK) iteration method for solving a class of large and low-rank complex Sylvester equations arising from the two-dimensional time- periodic fractional diffusion problem is established. The local convergence condition is proposed and the optimal parameter is given. Numerical experiments are used to show the efficiency of the NPHSS-KPIK iteration method for solving the Sylvester equations arising from the time-periodic fractional diffusion equations.
