(i) Define the Jacobi method with relaxation for solving the linear system Ax=b.
(ii) For x∗ and x(ν) being the exact and the iterated solution, respectively, let e(ν):=x(ν)−x∗ be the error and Hω the iteration matrix, so that
e(ν+1)=Hωe(ν)
Express Hω in terms of the matrix A, its diagonal part D and the relaxation parameter ω, and find the eigenvectors vk and the eigenvalues λk(ω) of Hω for the n×n tridiagonal matrix
A=⎣⎢⎢⎢⎢⎢⎡2−1−12⋱−1⋱−1⋱2−1−12⎦⎥⎥⎥⎥⎥⎤
[Hint: The eigenvectors and eigenvalues of A are
(uk)i=sinn+1kiπ,i=1,…,n,λk(A)=4sin22(n+1)kπ,k=1,…,n.]
(iii) For A as above, let
e(ν)=k=1∑nak(ν)vk
be the expansion of the error with respect to the eigenvectors (vk) of Hω.
Find the range of parameter ω which provides convergence of the method for any n, and prove that, for any such ω, the rate of convergence e(ν)→0 is not faster than (1−c/n2)ν.
(iv) Show that, for some ω, the high frequency components (2n+1⩽k⩽n) of the error e(ν) tend to zero much faster. Determine the optimal parameter ω∗ which provides the largest suppression of the high frequency components per iteration, and find the corresponding attenuation factor μ∗ (i.e. the least μω such that ∣∣∣∣ak(ν+1)∣∣∣∣⩽μω∣∣∣∣ak(ν)∣∣∣∣ for 2n+1⩽k⩽n).
