Abstract

We study convergence conditions for the additive and the multiplicative splitting iteration methods, i.e., two generalizations of the additive and the multiplicative Schwarz iterations, for Hermitian and non-Hermitian systems of linear equations, under an algebraic setting. Theoretical analyses show that when the coefficient and the splitting matrices are Hermitian, or non-Hermitian but diagonalizable, satisfying mild conditions, both additive and multiplicative splitting iteration methods are convergent, even if the coefficient matrix is indefinite.
