Modulus-based synchronous two-stage multisplitting iteration methods for linear complementarity problems

Abstract

In order to solve large sparse linear complementarity problems on parallel multiprocessor systems, we construct modulus-based synchronous two-stage multisplitting iteration methods based on two-stage multisplittings of the system matrices. These iteration methods include the multisplitting relaxation methods such as Jacobi, Gauss---Seidel, SOR and AOR of the modulus type as special cases. We establish the convergence theory of these modulus-based synchronous two-stage multisplitting iteration methods and their relaxed variants when the system matrix is an H ?+?-matrix. Numerical results show that in terms of computing time the modulus-based synchronous two-stage multisplitting relaxation methods are more efficient than the modulus-based synchronous multisplitting relaxation methods in actual implementations.
