Analysis of semi-Toeplitz preconditioners for first-order PDEs

A semi-Toeplitz preconditioner for nonsymmetric, nondiagonally dominant systems of equations is studied. The preconditioner solve is based on a Fast Modified Sine Transform. As a model problem the author studies a system of equations arising from an implicit time-discretization of a scalar hyperbolic PDE. Analytical formulas for the eigenvalues of the preconditioned system are derived. The convergence of a minimal residual iteration is shown to be dependent only on the grid ratio in space and not on the number of unknowns.
