consider the linear system ax=b where the coefficient matrix a is an m-matrix. in the present work, it is proved that the rate of convergence of the gauss-seidel method is faster than the mixed-type splitting and aor (sor) iterative methods for solving m-matrix linear systems. furthermore, we improve the rate of convergence of the mixed-type splitting iterative method by applying a precondition...

The pseudospectral (or Fourier) method has been used recently by several investigators for forward seismic modeling. The method is introduced here in two different ways: as a limit of finite differences of increasing orders, and by trigonometric interpolation. An argument based on spectral analysis of a model equation shows that the pseudospectral method (for the accuracies and integration time...

The pseudospectrum of a linear time-invariant system is the set in the complex plane consisting of all the roots of the characteristic equation when the system matrices are subjected to all possible perturbations with a given upper bound. The pseudospectral abscissa is defined as the maximum real part of the characteristic roots in the pseudospectrum and, therefore, it is for instance important...
