Novel minimum residual MHSS iteration method for solving complex symmetric linear systems

Abstract

For solving complex symmetric systems of linear equations, based on the modified Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (MHSS) iteration scheme, a minimum residual MHSS (MRMHSS) iteration method was proposed by applying the minimum residual technique to the MHSS iteration process. We have known that the MRMHSS iteration method is very efficient, while the convergence condition is difficult to verify in practice. In this work, we improve the MRMHSS iteration method by determining the involved iteration parameters using a new norm and prove that the so obtained novel variant can be unconditionally convergent. Numerical results are reported to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.
