Estimating Optimum Overrelaxation Parameters

چکیده

finding the optimum overrelaxation parameter o¡¡, is an important and often a difficult part of the problem [1, p. 257]. When A is a 2-cyclic, consistently ordered, real symmetric, positive-definite matrix (this will be assumed in the rest of the paper), only the spectral radius p(£i) of the associated Gauss-Seidel iteration matrix £i is needed to determine the optimum parameter co¡, [2, p. 109]. When p(£i) is close to unity, small changes in the estimate for p(£i) can drastically affect the rate of convergence of the S.O.R. iterations and, thus, an accurate estimate of p(£i) is needed. In practice, two basic approaches are often used to estimate p(£i) or equivalently wbOne approach is to carry out a number of S.O.R. iterations with some o < 03b and then on the basis of numerical results obtain a new estimate for oib [1], [3], [4], [12]. A second approach is to obtain an estimate for p(£i), using the power method, prior to carrying out the S.O.R. iterations [1], [2], [5], [6]. The second approach is useful when the iterative process is slowly convergent, when the matrix problem (1.1) is to be solved a number of times for different vectors f, or when very accurate solutions are required. In this paper it is shown how to use Chebyshev polynomials to accelerate the convergence of the power method. The description of the procedure includes a method for terminating the iterations in an attempt to minimize the total computer time required to solve the problem. The method has worked well in practice in a number of difficult problems. More details are given in [13]. The numerical procedures given in this paper apply equally well when the cyclic Chebyshev semi-iterative method [2], [7] is used to solve the matrix problem (1.1).

Optimum Accelerated Overrelaxation Method

In this paper we give the optimum parameters for the Accelerated Overrelaxation (AOR) method in the special case where the matrix coefficient of the linear system, which is solved, is consistently ordered with nonvanishing diagonal elements. Under certain assumptions, concerning the eigenvalues of the corresponding Jacobi matrix, it is shown that the optimum AOR method gives better convergence ...

Some Practical Aspects of Overrelaxation in Diagnostic and Forecast Calculations

If the conditions for the existence of a unique optimum overrelaxation factor are satisfied in a jury problem, then component suppression is a useful aid. In jury-marching forecast models, there is no unique optimum overrelaxation factor, because the error vector at acceptance is not dominated by the eigenvector corresponding to the spectral radius. The criterion for fewest iterations is not th...

ADI Solution of the Inverse Balance Equation Over a Non-Rectangular Region

A Poisson-type equation arising in a commonly used numerical weather forecasting model is solved using an alternating direction implicit (ADI) method with Wachpress optimum parameters on a trapezoidal domain which coincides with the operational forecast domain. Various optimum parameter sequences were obtained for the corresponding squares which enclose the region under consideration, computati...

Modified Successive Overrelaxation (MSOR) and Equivalent 2-Step Iterative Methods for Collocation Matrices

We consider a class of consistently ordered matrices which arise from the discretization of Boundary Value Problems (BVPs) when the finite element collocation method, with Hermite elements, is used. Through a recently derived equivalence relationship for the asymptotic rates of convergence of the Modified Successive Overrelaxation (MSOR) and a certain 2-step iterative method, we determine the o...
