A Modified Conjugate Residual Method and Nearest Kronecker Product Preconditioner for the Generalized Coupled Sylvester Tensor Equations.

This paper is devoted to proposing a modified conjugate residual method for solving the generalized coupled Sylvester tensor equations. To further improve its convergence rate, we derive a preconditioned modified conjugate residual method based on the Kronecker product approximations for solving the tensor equations. A theoretical analysis shows that the proposed method converges to an exact solution for any initial tensor at most finite steps in the absence round-off errors. Compared with a modified conjugate gradient method, the obtained numerical results illustrate that our methods perform much better in terms of the number of iteration steps and computing time.
