A two-step iterative method based on diagonal and off-diagonal splitting for solving linear systems

Abstract

Solving linear systems is a classical problem of engineering and numerical analysis which has various applications in many sciences and engineering. In this paper, we study efficient iterative methods, based on the diagonal and off-diagonal splitting of the coefficient matrix A for solving linear system Ax = b, where A ? Cnxn is nonsingular and x,b ? Cnxm. The new method is a two-parameter two-step method that has some iterative methods as its special cases. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the new method.
