A practical two-term acceleration algorithm for linear systems.

SUMMARY In this paper, a practical two-term acceleration algorithm is proposed, the interval of the parameter which guarantees the convergence of the acceleration algorithm is analyzed in detail. Further, the acceleration ratio of the new acceleration algorithm is obtained in advance. The new acceleration algorithm is less sensitive to the parameter than the Chebyshev semi-iterative method. Finally, some numerical examples show that the accelerated algorithm is effective. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
