Abstract

For the system of linear equations arising from discretization of the second-order self-adjoint elliptic Dirichlet-periodic boundary value problems, by making use of the special structure of the coefficient matrix we present a class of combinative preconditioners which are technical combinations of modified incomplete Cholesky factorizations and Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury update. Theoretical analyses show that the condition numbers of the preconditioned matrices can be reduced to $\mathcal{O}(h^{-1})$, one order smaller than the condition number  $\mathcal{O}(h^{-2})$ of the original matrix. Numerical implementations show that the resulting preconditioned conjugate gradient methods are feasible, robust and efficient for solving this class of linear systems.
