Diagonal and Toeplitz splitting iteration methods for diagonal‐plus‐Toeplitz linear systems from spatial fractional diffusion equations

The finite difference discretization of the spatial fractional diffusion equations gives discretized linear systems whose coefficient matrices have a diagonal‐plus‐Toeplitz structure. For solving these diagonal‐plus‐Toeplitz linear systems, we construct a class of diagonal and Toeplitz splitting iteration methods and establish its unconditional convergence theory. In particular, we derive a sharp upper bound about its asymptotic convergence rate and deduct the optimal value of its iteration parameter. The diagonal and Toeplitz splitting iteration method naturally leads to a diagonal and circulant splitting preconditioner. Analysis shows that the eigenvalues of the corresponding preconditioned matrix are clustered around 1, especially when the discretization step‐size h is small. Numerical results exhibit that the diagonal and circulant splitting preconditioner can significantly improve the convergence properties of GMRES and BiCGSTAB, and these preconditioned Krylov subspace iteration methods outperform the conjugate gradient method preconditioned by the approximate inverse circulant‐plus‐diagonal preconditioner proposed recently by Ng and Pan (M.K. Ng and J.‐Y. Pan, SIAM J. Sci. Comput. 2010;32:1442‐1464). Moreover, unlike this preconditioned conjugate gradient method, the preconditioned GMRES and BiCGSTAB methods show h‐independent convergence behavior even for the spatial fractional diffusion equations of discontinuous or big‐jump coefficients.     

Lopsided PMHSS iteration method for a class of complex symmetric linear systems

Based on the preconditioned modified Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (PMHSS) iteration method, we introduce a lopsided PMHSS (LPMHSS) iteration method for solving a broad class of complex symmetric linear systems. The convergence properties of the LPMHSS method are analyzed, which show that, under a loose restriction on parameter α, the iterative sequence produced by LPMHSS method is convergent to the unique solution of the linear system for any initial guess. Furthermore, we derive an upper bound for the spectral radius of the LPMHSS iteration matrix, and the quasi-optimal parameter α ^? which minimizes the above upper bound is also obtained. Both theoretical and numerical results indicate that the LPMHSS method outperforms the PMHSS method when the real part of the coefficient matrix is dominant.     

An improved block splitting preconditioner for complex symmetric indefinite linear systems

In this paper, an improved block splitting preconditioner for a class of complex symmetric indefinite linear systems is proposed. By adopting two iteration parameters and the relaxation technique, the new preconditioner not only remains the same computational cost with the block preconditioners but also is much closer to the original coefficient matrix. The theoretical analysis shows that the corresponding iteration method is convergent under suitable conditions and the preconditioned matrix can have well-clustered eigenvalues around (0,1) with a reasonable choice of the relaxation parameters. An estimate concerning the dimension of the Krylov subspace for the preconditioned matrix is also obtained. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented preconditioner.     

On preconditioned MHSS iteration methods for complex symmetric linear systems

We propose a preconditioned variant of the modified HSS (MHSS) iteration method for solving a class of complex symmetric systems of linear equations. Under suitable conditions, we prove the convergence of the preconditioned MHSS (PMHSS) iteration method and discuss the spectral properties of the PMHSS-preconditioned matrix. Numerical implementations show that the resulting PMHSS preconditioner leads to fast convergence when it is used to precondition Krylov subspace iteration methods such as GMRES and its restarted variants. In particular, both the stationary PMHSS iteration and PMHSS-preconditioned GMRES show meshsize-independent and parameter-insensitive convergence behavior for the tested numerical examples.     

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.     

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 preconditioned general modulus-based matrix splitting iteration method for linear complementarity problems of <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-matrices

In this paper, we propose a preconditioned general modulus-based matrix splitting iteration method for solving modulus equations arising from linear complementarity problems. Its convergence theory is proved when the system matrix is an H₊-matrix, from which some new convergence conditions can be derived for the (general) modulus-based matrix splitting iteration methods. Numerical results further show that the proposed methods are superior to the existing methods.     

Quasi‐Toeplitz splitting iteration methods for unsteady space‐fractional diffusion equations

We construct a class of quasi‐Toeplitz splitting iteration methods to solve the two‐sided unsteady space‐fractional diffusion equations with variable coefficients. By making full use of the structural characteristics of the coefficient matrix, the method only requires computational costs of O(n log n) with n denoting the number of degrees of freedom. We develop an appropriate circulant matrix to replace the Toeplitz matrix as a preconditioner. We discuss the spectral properties of the quasi‐circulant splitting preconditioned matrix. Numerical comparisons with existing approaches show that the present method is both effective and efficient when being used as matrix splitting preconditioners for Krylov subspace iteration methods.     

Fast solvers with block‐diagonal preconditioners for linear FEM–BEM coupling

The purpose of this paper is to present optimal preconditioned iterative methods to solve indefinite linear systems of equations arising from symmetric coupling of finite elements and boundary elements. This is a block‐diagonal preconditioner together with a conjugate residual method and a preconditioned inner–outer iteration. We prove the efficiency of these methods by showing that the number of iterations to preserve a given accuracy is bounded independent of the number of unknowns. Numerical examples underline the efficiency of these methods. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Class of Nested Iteration Schemes for Linear Systems with a Coefficient Matrix with a Dominant Positive Definite Symmetric Part

We present a class of nested iteration schemes for solving large sparse systems of linear equations with a coefficient matrix with a dominant symmetric positive definite part. These new schemes are actually inner/outer iterations, which employ the classical conjugate gradient method as inner iteration to approximate each outer iterate, while each outer iteration is induced by a convergent and symmetric positive definite splitting of the coefficient matrix. Convergence properties of the new schemes are studied in depth, possible choices of the inner iteration steps are discussed in detail, and numerical examples from the finite-difference discretization of a second-order partial differential equation are used to further examine the effectiveness and robustness of the new schemes over GMRES and its preconditioned variant. Also, we show that the new schemes are, at least, comparable to the variable-step generalized conjugate gradient method and its preconditioned variant.     

On block preconditioners for saddle point problems with singular or indefinite (1, 1) block

We discuss a class of preconditioning methods for the iterative solution of symmetric algebraic saddle point problems, where the (1, 1) block matrix may be indefinite or singular. Such problems may arise, e.g. from discrete approximations of certain partial differential equations, such as the Maxwell time harmonic equations. We prove that, under mild assumptions on the underlying problem, a class of block preconditioners (including block diagonal, triangular and symmetric indefinite preconditioners) can be chosen in a way which guarantees that the convergence rate of the preconditioned conjugate residuals method is independent of the discretization mesh parameter. We provide examples of such preconditioners that do not require additional scaling. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

BCCB preconditioners for systems of BVM‐based numerical integrators

Boundary value methods (BVMs) for ordinary differential equations require the solution of non‐symmetric, large and sparse linear systems. In this paper, these systems are solved by using the generalized minimal residual (GMRES) method. A block‐circulant preconditioner with circulant blocks (BCCB preconditioner) is proposed to speed up the convergence rate of the GMRES method. The BCCB preconditioner is shown to be invertible when the BVM is A_k1,k2‐stable. The spectrum of the preconditioned matrix is clustered and therefore, the preconditioned GMRES method converges fast. Moreover, the operation cost in each iteration of the preconditioned GMRES method by using our BCCB preconditioner is less than that required by using block‐circulant preconditioners proposed earlier. In numerical experiments, we compare the number of iterations of various preconditioners. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting methods for non-Hermitian positive semidefinite linear systems

Summary. For the positive semidefinite system of linear equations of a block two-by-two structure, by making use of the Hermitian/skew-Hermitian splitting iteration technique we establish a class of preconditioned Hermitian/skew-Hermitian splitting iteration methods. Theoretical analysis shows that the new method converges unconditionally to the unique solution of the linear system. Moreover, the optimal choice of the involved iteration parameter and the corresponding asymptotic convergence rate are computed exactly. Numerical examples further confirm the correctness of the theory and the effectiveness of the method.Mathematics Subject Classification: 65F10, 65F50, CR: G1.3Subsidized by The Special Funds For Major State Basic Research Projects G1999032803Research supported, in part, by DOE-FC02-01ER4177Revised version received November 5, 2003     

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.     

Real valued iterative methods for solving complex symmetric linear systems

Complex valued systems of equations with a matrix R + 1S where R and S are real valued arise in many applications. A preconditioned iterative solution method is presented when R and S are symmetric positive semi‐definite and at least one of R, S is positive definite. The condition number of the preconditioned matrix is bounded above by 2, so only very few iterations are required. Applications when solving matrix polynomial equation systems, linear systems of ordinary differential equations, and using time‐stepping integration schemes based on Padé approximation for parabolic and hyperbolic problems are also discussed. Numerical comparisons show that the proposed real valued method is much faster than the iterative complex symmetric QMR method. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

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.
