Abstract

Based on the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (HSS), we come up with a generalized HSS iteration method with a flexible shift-parameter for solving the non-Hermitian positive definite system of linear equations. This iteration method utilizes the optimization technique to obtain the optimal value of the flexible shift-parameter at iteration process. Both theory and experiment have shown that the new strategy is efficient.
