Abstract

Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting achieved by adding the pivot row to the kth row at step k, was introduced by Onaga and Takechi in 1986 as a means for reducing communications in parallel implementations. In this paper it is shown that the growth factor of this partial pivoting algorithm is bounded above by µn < 3 n−1 ,a s compared to 2 n−1 for the standard partial pivoting. This bound µn ,c lose to 3 n−2 , is attainable for a class of near-singular matrices. Moreover, for the same matrices the growth factor is small under partial pivoting. AMS subject classification: 65F05, 65G05.
