A Comparison Result for Multisplittings Based on Overlapping Blocks and its Application to Waveform Relaxation Methods

by A. Frommer and B. Pohl

(Report number 1993-05)

Abstract
We show that certain multisplitting iterative methods based on overlapping blocks yield faster convergence than corresponding non-overlapping block iterations, provided the coefficient matrix is an M-matrix. This result is then applied to compare different waveform relaxation methods for solving initial value problems. Numerical experiments on the Intel iPSC/860 hypercube are included.

Keywords: multisplittings, overlapping blocks, comparison results, M-matrices, regular splittings, waveform relaxation, initial value problems, parallel algorithms
