Preconditioned iterative methods for a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems

This paper proposes new iterative methods for the efficient computation of the smallest eigenvalue of symmetric nonlinear matrix eigenvalue problems of large order with a monotone dependence on the spectral parameter. Monotone nonlinear eigenvalue problems for differential equations have important applications in mechanics and physics. The discretization of these eigenvalue problems leads to nonlinear eigenvalue problems with very large sparse ill-conditioned matrices monotonically depending on the spectral parameter. To compute the smallest eigenvalue of large-scale matrix nonlinear eigenvalue problems, we suggest preconditioned iterative methods: preconditioned simple iteration method, preconditioned steepest descent method, and preconditioned conjugate gradient method. These methods use only matrix-vector multiplications, preconditioner-vector multiplications, linear operations with vectors, and inner products of vectors. We investigate the convergence and derive grid-independent error estimates for these methods. Numerical experiments demonstrate the practical effectiveness of the proposed methods for a model problem.     

Conditioning analysis of block incomplete factorizations and its application to elliptic equations

Summary. The paper deals with eigenvalue estimates for block incomplete factorization methods for symmetric matrices. First, some previous results on upper bounds for the maximum eigenvalue of preconditioned matrices are generalized to each eigenvalue. Second, upper bounds for the maximum eigenvalue of the preconditioned matrix are further estimated, which presents a substantial improvement of earlier results. Finally, the results are used to estimate bounds for every eigenvalue of the preconditioned matrices, in particular, for the maximum eigenvalue, when a modified block incomplete factorization is used to solve an elliptic equation with variable coefficients in two dimensions. The analysis yields a new upper bound of type for the condition number of the preconditioned matrix and shows clearly how the coefficients of the differential equation influence the positive constant .

Preconditioning Indefinite Systems in Interior Point Methods for Optimization

Every Newton step in an interior-point method for optimization requires a solution of a symmetric indefinite system of linear equations. Most of today's codes apply direct solution methods to perform this task. The use of logarithmic barriers in interior point methods causes unavoidable ill-conditioning of linear systems and, hence, iterative methods fail to provide sufficient accuracy unless appropriately preconditioned. Two types of preconditioners which use some form of incomplete Cholesky factorization for indefinite systems are proposed in this paper. Although they involve significantly sparser factorizations than those used in direct approaches they still capture most of the numerical properties of the preconditioned system. The spectral analysis of the preconditioned matrix is performed: for convex optimization problems all the eigenvalues of this matrix are strictly positive. Numerical results are given for a set of public domain large linearly constrained convex quadratic programming problems with sizes reaching tens of thousands of variables. The analysis of these results reveals that the solution times for such problems on a modern PC are measured in minutes when direct methods are used and drop to seconds when iterative methods with appropriate preconditioners are used.     

A SHIFT-SPLITTING PRECONDITIONER FOR NON-HERMITIAN POSITIVE DEFINITE MATRICES

A shift splitting concept is introduced and, correspondingly, a shift-splitting iteration scheme and a shift-splitting preconditioner are presented, for solving the large sparse system of linear equations of which the coefficient matrix is an ill-conditioned non-Hermitian positive definite matrix. The convergence property of the shift-splitting iteration method and the eigenvalue distribution of the shift-splitting preconditioned matrix are discussed in depth, and the best possible choice of the shift is investigated in detail. Numerical computations show that the shift-splitting preconditioner can induce accurate, robust and effective preconditioned Krylov subspace iteration methods for solving the large sparse non-Hermitian positive definite systems of linear equations.     

On a type of matrix splitting preconditioners for a class of block two-by-two linear systems

Recently, Bai et al. (2013) proposed an effective and efficient matrix splitting iterative method, called preconditioned modified Hermitian/skew-Hermitian splitting (PMHSS) iteration method, for two-by-two block linear systems of equations. The eigenvalue distribution of the iterative matrix suggests that the splitting matrix could be advantageously used as a preconditioner. In this study, the CGNR method is utilized for solving the PMHSS preconditioned linear systems, and the performance of the method is considered by estimating the condition number of the normal equations. Furthermore, the proposed method is compared with other PMHSS preconditioned Krylov subspace methods by solving linear systems arising in complex partial differential equations and a distributed control problem. The numerical results demonstrate the difference in the performance of the methods under consideration.     

Higher-order quadratures for circulant preconditioned Wiener-Hopf equations

In this paper, we consider solving matrix systems arising from the discretization of Wiener-Hopf equations by preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) methods. Circulant integral operators as preconditioners have been proposed and studied. However, the discretization of these preconditioned equations by employing higher-order quadratures leads to matrix systems that cannot be solved efficiently by using fast Fourier transforms (FFTs). The aim of this paper is to propose new preconditioners for Wiener-Hopf equations. The discretization of these preconditioned operator equations by higher-order quadratures leads to matrix systems that involve only Toeplitz, circulant and diagonal matrix-vector multiplications and hence can be computed efficiently by FFTs in each iteration. We show that with the proper choice of kernel functions of Wiener-Hopf equations, the resulting preconditioned operators will have clustered spectra and therefore the PCG method converges very fast. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the fast convergence of the method and the improvement of the accuracy of the computed solutions with using higher-order quadratures.Research supported by the Cooperative Research Centre for Advanced Computational Systems.Research supported in part by Lee Ka Shing scholarship.     

Optimization of the parameterized Uzawa preconditioners for saddle point matrices

The parameterized Uzawa preconditioners for saddle point problems are studied in this paper. The eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrix are located in (0, 2) by choosing the suitable parameters. Furthermore, we give two strategies to optimize the rate of convergence by finding the suitable values of parameters. Numerical computations show that the parameterized Uzawa preconditioners can lead to practical and effective preconditioned GMRES methods for solving the saddle point problems.

一类空间分数阶扩散方程经过有限差分离散后所得到的离散线性方程组的系数矩阵是两个对角矩阵与Toeplitz型矩阵的乘积之和.在本文中,对于几乎各向同性的二维或三维空间分数阶扩散方程的离散线性方程组,采用预处理Krylov子空间迭代方法,我们利用其系数矩阵的特殊结构和具体性质构造了一类分块快速正则Hermite分裂预处理子.通过理论分析,我们证明了所对应的预处理矩阵的特征值大部分都聚集于1的附近.数值实验也表明,这类分块快速正则Hermite分裂预处理子可以明显地加快广义极小残量(GMRES)方法和稳定化的双共轭梯度(BiCGSTAB)方法等Krylov子空间迭代方法的收敛速度.     

COMBINATIVE PRECONDITIONERS OF MODIFIED INCOMPLETE CHOLESKY FACTORIZATION AND SHERMAN-MORRISON-WOODBURY UPDATE FOR SELF-ADJOINT ELLIPTIC DIRICHLET-PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

For the system of linear equations arising from discretization of the second-order self-adjoint elliptic Dirichlet-periodic boundary value problems,by making use of the specialstructure of the coefficient matrix we present a class of combinative preconditioners whichare technical combinations of modified incomplete Cholesky factorizations and Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury update.Theoretical analyses show that the condition numbers of thepreconditioned matrices can be reduced to(?)(h~(-1)),one order smaller than the conditionnumber(?)(h~(-2))of the original matrix.Numerical implementations show that the resultingpreconditioned conjugate gradient methods are feasible,robust and efficient for solving thisclass of linear systems.     

On approximated ILU and UGS preconditioning methods for linearized discretized steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations

When the artificial compressibility method in conjunction with high-order upwind compact finite difference schemes is employed to discretize the steady-state incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, in each pseudo-time step we need to solve a structured system of linear equations approximately by, for example, a Krylov subspace method such as the preconditioned GMRES. In this paper, based on the special structure and concrete property of the linear system we construct a structured preconditioner for its coefficient matrix and estimate eigenvalue bounds of the correspondingly preconditioned matrix. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed preconditioning methods.     

Block ILU Preconditioners for a Nonsymmetric Block-Tridiagonal M-Matrix

We propose block ILU (incomplete LU) factorization preconditioners for a nonsymmetric block-tridiagonal M-matrix whose computation can be done in parallel based on matrix blocks. Some theoretical properties for these block ILU factorization preconditioners are studied and then we describe how to construct them effectively for a special type of matrix. We also discuss a parallelization of the preconditioner solver step used in nonstationary iterative methods with the block ILU preconditioners. Numerical results of the right preconditioned BiCGSTAB method using the block ILU preconditioners are compared with those of the right preconditioned BiCGSTAB using a standard ILU factorization preconditioner to see how effective the block ILU preconditioners are.

Numerical results further show that the proposed methods are superior to the existing methods.

Block two-stage preconditioners

Linear systems of the form Ax = b, where the matrix A is symmetric and positive definite, often arise from the discretization of elliptic partial differential equations. A very successful method for solving these linear systems is the preconditioned conjugate gradient method. In this paper, we study parallel preconditioners for the conjugate gradient method based on the block two-stage iterative methods. Sufficient conditions for the validity of these preconditioners are given. Computational results of these preconditioned conjugate gradient methods on two parallel computing systems are presented.

Sine transform based preconditioning techniques for space fractional diffusion equations

We study the preconditioned iterative methods for the linear systems arising from the numerical solution of the multi-dimensional space fractional diffusion equations. A sine transform based preconditioning technique is developed according to the symmetric and skew-symmetric splitting of the Toeplitz factor in the resulting coefficient matrix. Theoretical analyses show that the upper bound of relative residual norm of the GMRES method when applied to the preconditioned linear system is mesh-independent which implies the linear convergence. Numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the correctness of the theoretical results and the effectiveness of the proposed preconditioning technique.

On SSOR‐like preconditioners for non‐Hermitian positive definite matrices

We construct, analyze, and implement SSOR‐like preconditioners for non‐Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations when its coefficient matrix possesses either a dominant Hermitian part or a dominant skew‐Hermitian part. We derive tight bounds for eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrices and obtain convergence rates of the corresponding SSOR‐like iteration methods as well as the corresponding preconditioned GMRES iteration methods. Numerical implementations show that Krylov subspace iteration methods such as GMRES, when accelerated by the SSOR‐like preconditioners, are efficient solvers for these classes of non‐Hermitian positive definite linear systems.
