Description
nag_sparse_nherm_jacobi (f11dxc) computes the
approximate solution of the complex sparse system of linear equations
using
niter iterations of the Jacobi algorithm (see also
Golub and Van Loan (1996) and
Young (1971)):
where
and
.
nag_sparse_nherm_jacobi (f11dxc) can be used both for non-Hermitian and Hermitian systems of equations. For Hermitian matrices, either all nonzero elements of the matrix
can be supplied using coordinate storage (CS), or only the nonzero elements of the lower triangle of
, using symmetric coordinate storage (SCS) (see the
f11 Chapter Introduction).
It is expected that nag_sparse_nherm_jacobi (f11dxc) will be used as a preconditioner for the iterative solution of complex sparse systems of equations. This may be with either the Hermitian or non-Hermitian suites of functions.
For Hermitian systems the suite consists of:
For non-Hermitian systems the suite consists of:

Accuracy
In general, the Jacobi method cannot be used on its own to solve systems of linear equations. The rate of convergence is bound by its spectral properties (see, for example,
Golub and Van Loan (1996)) and as a solver, the Jacobi method can only be applied to a limited set of matrices. One condition that guarantees convergence is strict diagonal dominance.
However, the Jacobi method can be used successfully as a preconditioner to a wider class of systems of equations. The Jacobi method has good vector/parallel properties, hence it can be applied very efficiently. Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide criteria which define the applicability of the Jacobi method as a preconditioner, and its usefulness must be judged for each case.
