Parallel Successive Overrelaxation Methods for Symmetric Linear Complementarity Problems and Linear Programs

摘要

A parallel successive overrelaxation (SOR) method is proposed for the solution of the fundamental symmetric linear complementarity problem. Convergence is established under a relaxation factor which approaches the classical value of 2 for a loosely coupled problem. The parallel SOR algorithm is then applied to solve the symmetric linear complementarity problem associated with the least norm solution of a linear program.
