An accelerated symmetric SOR-like method for augmented systems.

Abstract Recently, Njeru and Guo presented an accelerated SOR-like (ASOR) method for solving the large and sparse augmented systems. In this paper, we establish an accelerated symmetric SOR-like (ASSOR) method, which is an extension of the ASOR method. Furthermore, the convergence properties of the ASSOR method for augmented systems are studied under suitable restrictions, and the functional equation between the iteration parameters and the eigenvalues of the relevant iteration matrix is established in detail. Finally, numerical examples show that the ASSOR is an efficient iteration method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
