Quotient convergence and multi-splitting methods for solving singular linear equations (Q997572): Difference between revisions

In the paper, the authors study properties of the quotient convergence of iterative methods for solving singular systems of linear equations. Namely, they consider iterative methods based on the splitting of the matrix of the system. Convergence implies quotient convergence, but the converse is not true in general. By making use of the definition of quotient convergence by the group inverse, the equivalence theorem is given for a stationary iterative method for the consistent singular linear system. The authors then introduce both stationary and non-stationary multi-splitting methods. The quotient convergence of the non-stationary multi-splitting method is given and proved for the case of the matrix \(A\) of the system with Index \((A)=1\). By using the equivalence between convergence and quotient convergence, the classical convergence of the stationary multi-splitting iterative method is proved.
