On the convergence of Q-OR and Q-MR Krylov methods for solving nonsymmetric linear systems (Q285268)

This theoretical paper studies convergence of general classes of quasi-minimal residual (Q-MR) and quasi-orthogonal residual (Q-MO) methods for solving nonsymmetric systems of linear algebraic equations. Relating these classes to the generalized minimal residual (GMRES) method and the full orthogonalization method (FOM), respectively, relation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors to convergence behavior is discussed. The existence of a linear system with any prescribed spectrum and the convergence curve are analyzed in details. The paper is well written bringing some new insight into the behavior of nonoptimal Krylov subspace methods.
