$P$-regular splitting iterative methods for non-Hermitian positive definite linear systems

Cheng-Yi Zhang and Michele Benzi

Abstract

We study the convergence of $P$-regular splitting iterative methods for non-Hermitian positive definite linear systems. Our main result is that $P$-regular splittings of the form $A=M-N$, where $N=N^*$, are convergent. Natural examples of splittings satisfying the convergence conditions are constructed, and numerical experiments are performed to illustrate the convergence results obtained.
