Summary
In a recent paper the author has proposed some theorems on the comparison of the asymptotic rates of convergence of two nonnegative splittings. They extended the corresponding result of Miller and Neumann and implied the earlier theorems of Varga, Beauwens, Csordas and Varga. An open question by Miller and Neumann, which additional and appropriate conditions should be imposed to obtain strict inequality, was also answered. This article continues to investigate the comparison theorems for nonnegative splittings. The new results extend and imply the known theorems by the author, Miller and Neumann.
