“…The concept of multisplittings, first introduced in [34], provides a very general setting to study parallel block methods; see, e.g., [2], [3], [4], [13], [17], [19], [21], [28], [31], [39]. This general setting encompasses cases, e.g., where there is overlap, i.e., where more than one processor computes approximations to the same variable, and the weighting matrices E have positive entries smaller than 1, see e.g., [22], [29].…”
