5. Basic Linear Iterative Methods Simple (one step) linear iterative methods (Linear fixed point iteration with the fixed point being the solution of the original linear system) un+1 = g(un) = Gun+ k Residual correction (RF method, with G = I-A) rn= b Aun un+1 = un+ rn = (I - A) un + b Matrix splitting for fixed point, with A = Q-N, or A = D L U specifically, which leads to Jacobi method: D u = (L+U) u = b, where Q = D Gauss-Seidel method: (D-L)u = U u + b, where Q = D-L SOR method, extrapolation with Gauss-Seidel Error correction, Improved RF, or Preconditioning

6. Basic Linear Iterative Methods, continued Error correction, Improved RF Compute rn= b Aun; Solve error equation approximately Aen= rn,or compute en=A-1rn, by e = Brn, with B being an approximation to A-1, called a preconditioner, and easily computable for Brn Error correction un+1 = un+ e Preconditioning un+1= un +B rn = (I - BA) un + Bb, G = I B A = I Q-1A (in D. Young, where Q is called a splitting matrix, with A = Q-N) in the linear fixed point iteration; This may be viewed as by applying B = Q-1 to the original system (preconditioning), then do RF

8. Linear Iteration and Preconditioners (J. Xu) Proposition 2.2 (J. XU) A symmetric iterative scheme gives rise to a preconditioner B for PCG, and the rate of the convergence of the iterative scheme may be accelerated by using PCG Proposition 2.3 (J. XU) Any preconditioner can also be used to construct a linear iterative scheme by the extrapolated preconditioned RF, with the optimal choice of the parameter: un+1= un + B rn
