Abstract: | Hadjidimos (1978) proposed a classical accelerated overrelaxation (AOR) iterative method to solve the system of linear equations, and discussed its convergence under the conditions that the coefficient matrices are irreducible diagonal dominant, $L$-matrices, and consistently orders matrices. Several preconditioned AOR methods have been proposed to solve system of linear equations $Ax = b$, where $A in mathbb{R}^{ntimes n}$ is an $L$-matrix. In this work, we introduce a new class preconditioners for solving linear systems and give a comparison result and some convergence result for this class of preconditioners. Numerical results for corresponding preconditioned GMRES methods are given to illustrate the theoretical results. |
