Given a Toeplitz matrix A, the authors derive an optimal circulant preconditioner C in the sense of minimizing norm of C - A/sub F/. It is in general different from the one proposed earlier except in the case when A is itself circulant. The new preconditioner is easy to compute and in preliminary numerical experiments performs better than Strang's preconditioner in terms of reducing the condition number of C/sup -1/ A and comparably in terms of clustering the spectrum around unity.
