Aspects of nonlinear block successive overrelaxation

DOI:https://doi.org/10.1137/0712026· OSTI ID:7368349

The solution of the nonlinear system Fx = 0 by the nonlinear block Gauss--Seidel (NBGS) and the nonlinear block successive overrelaxation (NBSOR) methods is considered. If F is an M-function, a theorem which compares the convergence rates of the NBGS method for different block groupings is given. For the NBSOR method, an a posteriori numerical strategy for determining an optimum relaxation parameter ..omega.. is described which is based on an asymptotic application of the theory developed by Young for 2-cyclic matrices. An inner iteration procedure based on Newton's method for solving the block subsystems is also given. Numerical results are included. 4 figures, 6 tables (auth)
