Article
Full-text available
The method of moments discretization of boundary integral equations typically leads to dense linear systems. When a single operator is used for multiple excitations, these systems have the same coefficient matrix and multiple right-hand sides (RHSs). Direct solution methods are computationally attractive to use for the solution because they require...

We are concerned with the iterative solution of linear systems with multiple right-hand sides available one group after another with possibly slowly-varying left-hand sides. For such sequences of linear systems, we first develop a new block minimum norm residual approach that combines two main ingredients. The first component exploits ideas from GC...

This paper seeks to position the third-party transaction (TPT) in the macrostructure of Chinese market in terms of Concentration Ratio and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index. By extending both Cournot oligopolistic and Stackelberg oligopolistic competition models, a new oligopolistic competition model is established for China’s TPT market. Based on multidi...

In this paper we propose an acceleration strategy for the Simpler GMRES (SGMRES) method that can considerably improve the convergence of SGMRES method and its variants. The idea is to use the augmentation of approximate errors in SGMRES-E so as to correct the alternative direction behavior of the residual vectors, which hampers the convergence. We...

The deflated block conjugate gradient (D-BCG) method is an attractive approach for the solution of symmetric positive definite linear systems with multiple right-hand sides. However, the orthogonality between the block residual vectors and the deflation subspace is gradually lost along with the process of the underlying algorithm implementation, wh...

Development of flexible variants of the block GMRES method that allow to use variable precondioning for solving sequence of linear systems with multiple shifts and multiple right-hand sides
Article
A variant of the simpler GMRES method is developed for solving shifted linear systems (SGMRES-Sh), exhibiting almost the same advantage of the simpler GMRES method over the regular GMRES method. Because the remedy adapted by GMRES-Sh is no longer feasible for SGMRES-Sh due to the differences between simpler GMRES and GMRES for constructing the resi...

The restarted block GMRES method with deflated restarting (BGMRES-DR) was proposed by Morgan (2005, Appl: Numer: Math, 54, 222–236) to dump the negative effect of small eigenvalues from the convergence of the block GMRES method. More recently, Wu et al. (2012, SIAM J: Sci: Comput, 34, 2558–2575) introduced the shifted block GMRES method for solving...

The Biconjugate AA-orthogonal residual stabilized method named as BiCORSTAB was proposed by Jing et al. (2009), where the numerical experiments therein demonstrate that the BiCORSTAB method converges more smoothly than the Bi-Conjugate Gradient stabilized (BiCGSTAB) method in some circumstances. In order to further stabilize the convergence behavio...

Linear systems with multiple right-hand sides arise in many applications. To solve such systems efficiently, a new deflated block GCROT($m,k$) method is explored in this paper by exploiting a modified block Arnoldi deflation. This deflation strategy has been shown to have the potential to improve the original deflation which indicates an explicit b...

A hybrid finite-element method/method of moments (FEM/MOM) is used to solve 3-D electromagnetic problems. We are focused on the solution to the resulting system of linear equations. Because of the hybrid nature of the FEM/MOM method, the coefficient matrix of the linear system has a very special structure with sparse but indefinite sub-matrices gen...

The Biconjugate 𝐴 -Orthogonal Residual (BiCOR) method carried out in finite precision arithmetic by means of the biconjugate 𝐴 -orthonormalization procedure may possibly tend to suffer from two sources of numerical instability, known as two kinds of breakdowns, similarly to those of the Biconjugate Gradient (BCG) method.
