Abstract

In this paper, based on the complex-symmetric and skew-Hermitian splitting (CSS) of the coefficient matrix, a modified complex-symmetric and skew-Hermitian-splitting (MCSS) iteration method is presented to solve a class of complex-symmetric indefinite linear systems from the classical state-space formulation of frequency analysis of the degree-of-freedom discrete system. The convergence properties of the MCSS method are obtained. The corresponding MCSS preconditioner is proposed and some useful properties of the preconditioned matrix are established. Numerical experiments are reported to verify the efficiency of both the MCSS method and the MCSS preconditioner.
