Block preconditioning of real-valued iterative algorithms for complex linear systems

Abstract: We revisit real-valued preconditioned iterative methods for the solution of complex linear systems, with an emphasis on symmetric (non-Hermitian) problems. Different choices of the real equivalent formulation are discussed, as well as different types of block preconditioners for Krylov subspace methods. We argue that if either the real or the symmetric part of the coefficient matrix is positive semidefinite, block preconditioners for real equivalent formulations may be a useful alternative to preconditioners f… Show more

“…To our knowledge, there are two computational techniques for solving this type of linear systems. The first is the so-called complex-to-real method, i.e., changing the original complex linear system (1.9) to a real one and taking advantages of some real-valued iteration methods, cf., e.g., [6,10,13]. This type of methods avoid complex arithmetic operations and may appear to be effective.…”

“…The choice of µ z is the same as in Table 1. As in the classical CG method, we define the approximate solution w n = w 0 + v n , with v n ∈ V n , by Galerkin's method, or 2) and find that v n = w n − w 0 satisfies…”

“…Such equations, with a complex shift z of the positive-definite operator A, need to be solved in a method for discretization in time of parabolic equations, based on Laplace transformation and quadrature, which has been studied recently, as is made [2] Iterative solution of shifted positive-definite linear systems 135 more specific below. We consider a basic Richardson iteration and a conjugate gradient (CG) method for (1.1), as well as preconditioned versions of these methods.…”

“…This class of systems of linear equations arise frequently from science and engineering applications such as computational electrodynamic [18,24], diffuse optical tomography [1], FFT-based solution of certain time-dependent PDEs [13], quantum mechanics [14], molecular scattering [20], structural dynamics [15], and lattice quantum chromodynamics [16]. For more examples and applications see [11] and references therein.…”
