Several splittings for non-Hermitian linear systems

Abstract

For large sparse non-Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations, we present several variants of the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (HSS) about the coefficient matrix and establish correspondingly several HSS-based iterative schemes. Theoretical analyses show that these methods are convergent unconditionally to the exact solution of the referred system of linear equations, and they may show advantages on problems that the HSS method is ineffective.
