On the accelerated iterative method for estimating the optimum overrelaxation parameter

This paper is concerned with the iterative method for estimating the optimum overrelaxation parameter. The improved power method (IP method) with the greatest rate of convergence is derived and compared with the Chebyshev polynomial iterative method (CP method) and the other iterative methods. Two algorithms (algorithms A and B) based on the IP method are presented. Some numerical results are shown.
