Title
Nested Krylov Iterative Methods For Linear Systems and Applications
Abstract
Iterative methods and especially Krylov subspace methods (KSM) are a very useful numerical tool in solving for large and sparse linear systems problems arising in science and engineering modeling. More recently, the nested loop KSM have been proposed that improve the convergence of the traditional KSM.
In this work, we present a new nested KSM, the generalized residual cutting (GRC). We show that GRC, in exact arithmetic, is equivalent to the widely known KSM Orthomin with a variable polynomial preconditioning. We present a stable GRC algorithm based on the modified Gram-Schmidt (MGS) method. We present numerical experiments using linear systems arising from engineering applications that validate the efficiency and the robustness of the proposed methods.
