Abstract: In this note, we study the fast solution of Toeplitz linear systems with coefficient matrix Tn(f), where the generating function f is nonnegative and has a unique zero at zero of any real positive order heta. As preconditioner we choose a matrix aun(f) belonging to the so-called au algebra, which is diagonalized by the sine transform associated to the discrete Laplacian. In previous works, the spectral equivalence of the matrix sequences aun(f)n and Tn(f)n was proven under the assumption that the order of the zero is equal to 2: in other words the preconditioned matrix sequence aun1(f)Tn(f)n has eigenvalues, which are uniformly away from zero and from infinity. Here we prove a generalization of the above result when heta<2. Furthermore, by making use of multiple step preconditioning, we show that the matrix sequences aun(f)n and Tn(f)n are essentially spectrally equivalent for every heta>2, i.e., for every heta>2, there exist mheta and a positive interval such that all the eigenvalues of aun1(f)Tn(f)n belong to this interval, except at most mheta outliers larger than . Such a nice property, already known only when heta is an even positive integer greater than 2, is coupled with the fact that the preconditioned sequence has an eigenvalue cluster at one, so that the convergence rate of the associated preconditioned conjugate gradient method is optimal. As a conclusion we discuss possible generalizations and we present selected numerical experiments.
