Abstract

The application of the Richardson second order iterative method to positive definite, symmetric linear equations is investigated. Absolute and statistical bounds for the round-off error are derived. The statistical theory agrees well with numerical experiments, until the accumulated round-off error becomes of the order of magnitude of the error in the computed solution. After this point the statistical dependence between the local round-off errors makes the observed variances larger than the theoretical variances.
