Efficient preconditioned NHSS iteration methods for solving complex symmetric linear systems

Based on the new HSS (NHSS) iteration method introduced by Pour and Goughery (2015), we propose a preconditioned variant of NHSS (P*NHSS) and an efficient parameterized P*NHSS (PPNHSS) iteration methods for solving a class of complex symmetric linear systems. The convergence properties of the P*NHSS and the PPNHSS iteration methods show that the iterative sequences are convergent to the unique solution of the linear system for any initial guess when the parameters are properly chosen. Moreover, we discuss the quasi-optimal parameters which minimize the upper bounds for the spectral radius of the iteration matrices. Numerical results show that the PPNHSS iteration method is superior to several iteration methods whether the experimental optimal parameters are used or not.
