PARALLEL VARIABLE-TRIANGULAR ITERATIVE METHODS IN KRYLOV SUBSPACES

摘要

The paper considers parallel preconditioned iterative methods in Krylov subspaces for solving systems of linear algebraic equations with large sparse symmetric positive-definite matrices resulting from grid approximations of multidimensional problems. For preconditioning, generalized block algorithms of symmetric successive over-relaxation or incomplete factorization type with matching row sums are used. Preconditioners are based on variable-triangular matrix factors with multiple alternations in triangular structure. For three-dimensional grid algebraic systems, methods are based on nested factorizations, as well as on two-level iterative processes. Successive approximations in Krylov subspaces are computed by applying a family of conjugate direction algorithms with various orthogonality and variational properties, including preconditioned conjugate gradient, conjugate residual, and minimal error methods.
