A note on two block-SOR methods for sparse least squares problems (Q1090078): Difference between revisions

Two block SOR methods of \textit{W. Niethammer}, \textit{J. de Pillis} and \textit{R. S. Varga} [ibid. 58, 327-341 (1984; Zbl 0565.65019)] and of \textit{T. L. Markham}, \textit{M. Neumann} and \textit{R. J. Plemmons} [ibid. 69, 155-167 (1985; Zbl 0576.65026)] for the solution of large least squares problems are compared with the conjugate gradient method for solving preconditioned normal equations. It is shown that the conjugate gradient method is generally preferable to the two SOR methods.
