On symmetric block triangular splitting iteration method for a class of complex symmetric system of linear equations

For solving a class of complex symmetric linear system, we first transform the system into a block two-by-two real formulation and construct a symmetric block triangular splitting (SBTS) iteration method based on two splittings. Then, eigenvalues of iterative matrix are calculated, convergence conditions with relaxation parameter are derived, and two optimal parameters are obtained. Besides, we present the optimal convergence factor and test two numerical examples to confirm theoretical results and to verify the high performances of SBTS iteration method compared with two classical methods.
