A New Generalized Asynchronous Parallel Multisplitting Iteration Method

Abstract

For the large sparse systems of linear and nonlinear equations, a new class of generalized asynchronous parallel multisplitting iterative method is presented, and its convergence theory is established under suitable conditions. This method not only unifies the discussions of various existing asynchronous multisplitting iterations, but also affords new algorithmic and theoretical results for the parallel solution of large sparse system of linear equations. Besides its generality, this method is also much more suitable for implementing on the MIMD multiprocessor systems.
