A new algorithmic characterization of \(H\)-matrices (Q864819)

The authors present a new iterative non-parameter method which allows an algorithmic characterization of \(H\)-matrices.This means that the proposed algorithm stops after a finite number of steps if and only if the input matrix \(A\) is an \(H\)-matrix. Actually, the method is an improvement of a known algorithm already presented in literature by \textit{T.-Z. Huang, J.-S. Long, E. L. Wachspress} and \textit{Y. Y. Tang} [Comput. Math. Appl. 48, 1587--1601 (2004; Zbl 1075.65044)], but it really works differently and significantly better. Two examples are reported to enlighten the features of this new method.
