“…Let D = diag(a 11 , a 22 The linear system has many important practical applications, such as diffuse optical tomography, molecular scattering, lattice quantum chromodynamics (see, e.g., [1,7,8,22,24,38,39,41]). Many researchers have been devoted themselves to the numerical solution of (1.1) (see e.g., [2-4, 10, 11, 18, 21, 25, 27, 28, 36, 37, 40, 42, 45-47] and the references therein) and proposed kinds of available iteration methods for solving the system (1.1), in which splitting iteration methods (see e.g., [9,[13][14][15][16][17]19,[29][30][31]35,44]) and Krylov subspace methods (see e.g., [5,20,23,26,32,43]) attract a lot of attention. In [16], the authors presented a Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (HSS) iteration method for solving (1.1) and showed that the HSS method converges unconditionally to the unique solution of the system.…”
