Comparison theorems for regular splittings on block partitions (Q677134)

This paper considers iterative solution of the linear system \(Ax=b\), with the splitting \(A=D- L-U\), with \(L\) and \(U\) lower and upper triangular, respectively, and \(D\), \(L\), \(U\) nonnegative matrices. Comparison theorems for the spectral radii of the associated iteration matrices of such block partitions are presented and related to the conjecture of \textit{J. Garloff} [SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 11, No. 1, 89-106 (1990; Zbl 0712.65016)].
