Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting methods for solving a tensor equation

Abstract

The present paper deals with the numerical solution of non-Hermitian positive definite tensor equation under the Einstein product. Firstly, we extend the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (HSS) method to solve the tensor equation. Then we propose a new Hermitian splitting (NHS) method under some certain conditions, which is expected to converge faster than the HSS iteration. We also present the optimal parameters of both the HSS and NHS methods. Moreover, we apply the Smith technique to give two modified methods which can greatly accelerate the convergence rate. The performed numerical examples illustrate that the proposed methods are feasible and efficient.
