An efficient iterative method for solving the matrix equation AXB + CYD = E

This paper presents an iterative method for solving the matrix equation AXB + CYD = E with real matrices X and Y. By this iterative method, the solvability of the matrix equation can be determined automatically. And when the matrix equation is consistent, then, for any initial matrix pair [X₀, Y₀], a solution pair can be obtained within finite iteration steps in the absence of round‐off errors, and the least norm solution pair can be obtained by choosing a special kind of initial matrix pair. Furthermore, the optimal approximation solution pair to a given matrix pair [X?, ?] in a Frobenius norm can be obtained by finding the least norm solution pair of a new matrix equation AX?B + C?D = ?, where ? = E ? AX?B ? C?D. The given numerical examples show that the iterative method is efficient. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fast enclosure for the minimum norm least squares solution of the matrix equation AXB = C

Fast algorithms for enclosing the minimum norm least squares solution of the matrix equation AXB = C are proposed. To develop these algorithms, theories for obtaining error bounds of numerical solutions are established. The error bounds obtained by these algorithms are verified in the sense that all the possible rounding errors have been taken into account. Techniques for accelerating the enclosure and obtaining smaller error bounds are introduced. Numerical results show the properties of the proposed algorithms.

The generalized centro‐symmetric and least squares generalized centro‐symmetric solutions of the matrix equation AYB + CYTD = E

An n×n real matrix P is said to be a symmetric orthogonal matrix if P = P^?1 = P^T. An n × n real matrix Y is called a generalized centro‐symmetric with respect to P, if Y = PYP. It is obvious that every matrix is also a generalized centro‐symmetric matrix with respect to I. In this work by extending the conjugate gradient approach, two iterative methods are proposed for solving the linear matrix equation and the minimum Frobenius norm residual problem over the generalized centro‐symmetric Y, respectively. By the first (second) algorithm for any initial generalized centro‐symmetric matrix, a generalized centro‐symmetric solution (least squares generalized centro‐symmetric solution) can be obtained within a finite number of iterations in the absence of round‐off errors, and the least Frobenius norm generalized centro‐symmetric solution (the minimal Frobenius norm least squares generalized centro‐symmetric solution) can be derived by choosing a special kind of initial generalized centro‐symmetric matrices. We also obtain the optimal approximation generalized centro‐symmetric solution to a given generalized centro‐symmetric matrix Y₀ in the solution set of the matrix equation (minimum Frobenius norm residual problem). Finally, some numerical examples are presented to support the theoretical results of this paper. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Numerical solutions of AXB = C for centrosymmetric matrix X under a specified submatrix constraint

We say that X = [x_ij] is centrosymmetric if x_ij = x_{n ? j + 1, n ? i + 1}, 1?i, j?n. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for minimizing ∥AXB ? C∥ where ∥·∥ is the Frobenius norm, A∈?^{m × n}, B∈?^{n × s}, C∈?^{m × s} and X∈?^{n × n} is centrosymmetric with a specified central submatrix [x_ij]_{p?i, j?n ? p}. Our algorithm produces a suitable X such that AXB = C in finitely many steps, if such an X exists. We show that the algorithm is stable in any case, and we give results of numerical experiments that support this claim. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Solutions of symmetry‐constrained least‐squares problems

In this paper, two new matrix‐form iterative methods are presented to solve the least‐squares problem: and matrix nearness problem: where matrices and are given; ??₁ and ??₂ are the set of constraint matrices, such as symmetric, skew symmetric, bisymmetric and centrosymmetric matrices sets and S_XY is the solution pair set of the minimum residual problem. These new matrix‐form iterative methods have also faster convergence rate and higher accuracy than the matrix‐form iterative methods proposed by Peng and Peng (Numer. Linear Algebra Appl. 2006; 13 : 473–485) for solving the linear matrix equation AXB+CYD=E. Paige's algorithms, which are based on the bidiagonalization procedure of Golub and Kahan, are used as the framework for deriving these new matrix‐form iterative methods. Some numerical examples illustrate the efficiency of the new matrix‐form iterative methods. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An iterative penalty method for the least squares solution of boundary value problems

This article is concerned with iterative techniques for linear systems of equations arising from a least squares formulation of boundary value problems. In its classical form, the solution of the least squares method is obtained by solving the traditional normal equation. However, for nonsmooth boundary conditions or in the case of refinement at a selected set of interior points, the matrix associated with the normal equation tends to be ill-conditioned. In this case, the least squares method may be formulated as a Powell multiplier method and the equations solved iteratively. Therein we use and compare two different iterative algorithms. The first algorithm is the preconditioned conjugate gradient method applied to the normal equation, while the second is a new algorithm based on the Powell method and formulated on the stabilized dual problem. The two algorithms are first compared on a one-dimensional problem with poorly conditioned matrices. Results show that, for such problems, the new algorithm gives more accurate results. The new algorithm is then applied to a two-dimensional steady state diffusion problem and a boundary layer problem. A comparison between the least squares method of Bramble and Schatz and the new algorithm demonstrates the ability of the new method to give highly accurate results on the boundary, or at a set of given interior collocation points without the deterioration of the condition number of the matrix. Conditions for convergence of the proposed algorithm are discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An iterative method based on equation decomposition for the fourth‐order singular perturbation problem

In this article, we propose an iterative method based on the equation decomposition technique ( 1 ) for the numerical solution of a singular perturbation problem of fourth‐order elliptic equation. At each step of the given method, we only need to solve a boundary value problem of second‐order elliptic equation and a second‐order singular perturbation problem. We prove that our approximate solution converges to the exact solution when the domain is a disc. Our numerical examples show the efficiency and accuracy of our method. Our iterative method works very well for singular perturbation problems, that is, the case of 0 < ε ? 1, and the convergence rate is very fast. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Landweber iterative method for an inverse source problem of time-fractional diffusion-wave equation on spherically symmetric domain

In this paper, an inverse source problem of time-fractional diffusion-wave equation on spherically symmetric domain is considered. In general, this problem is ill-posed. Landweber iterative method is used to solve this inverse source problem. The error estimates between the regularization solution and the exact solution are derived by an a-priori and an a-posteriori regularization parameters choice rules. The numerical examples are presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed methods.     

An iterative algorithm for the least squares bisymmetric solutions of the matrix equations

In this paper, an iterative algorithm is constructed to solve the minimum Frobenius norm residual problem: min over bisymmetric matrices. By this algorithm, for any initial bisymmetric matrix X₀, a solution X^* can be obtained in finite iteration steps in the absence of roundoff errors, and the solution with least norm can be obtained by choosing a special kind of initial matrix. Furthermore, in the solution set of the above problem, the unique optimal approximation solution to a given matrix in the Frobenius norm can be derived by finding the least norm bisymmetric solution of a new corresponding minimum Frobenius norm problem. Given numerical examples show that the iterative algorithm is quite effective in actual computation.
