Sect. 4.5 Iterative Methods for Solving Linear System Wenfeng Chen Department of Mathematics and Computer Sciences Laurentian University 1 4.5.0. Introduction and Review 1. Why Iterative Method for Solving Linear System (1). When solving a system Ax = b, because of round-off errors, direct methods become less efficient than iterative methods when they are applied to large systems, sometimes with as many as 100,000 variables, i.e., matrix size n= 100,000. In these cases, an iterative method is preferable. (2). If the coefficient matrix is sparse, i.e., a matrix that contain a high proportion of zeros, the amount of storage space required for iterative solutions on a 2 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. computer is far less than the one required for direct methods. (3). If A is large and sparse, LU decomposition (Gaussian elimination) may introduce ill-in. Then direct method may become costly. (4). We want to take advantage when only a rough approximation x’ to x is required. Sometimes a system does not really need an exact solution (5). We want to take advantage when a good x0 3 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. approximating x is known. Sometime there is a pretty good idea of an approximate guess for the solution, this is called warm start. (6). Sometimes A is not explicitly available, only matrix- vector products Av for any vector v can be efficiently carried out. 2. Concrete cases that require iterative methods Many linear systems arising in practice involve values defined on a grid, or a mesh, in two or even three space dimensions. 4 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. <1>. Case 1: pixel of 2-D computer monitor screen Consider the brightness values at each pixel of a two- dimensional computer monitor screen. The collection of such brightness values forms a two-dimensional grid function, {ui,j , i = 1, . . . , N, j = 1, . . . ,M}. 5 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. Often there are linear, algebraic relationships between values at neighboring grid nodes. But neighboring locations in a two- or three-dimensional array do not necessarily correspond to consecutive locations when such a structure is reshaped into a one-dimensional array. <2>. Discretization of the Poisson partial differential equation in one and two dimensions (1). Discretization on 1-D grid (or lattice) of 1-D Poisson equation Consider 1-D Poisson equation in the interval [0,1] 6 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. d 2v v ''(t ) 2 g (t ) dt with the homogeneous boundary condition v(0)=v(1)=0 How to do discretization? (1). First, subdivide the interval [0,1] into N equal subintervals of size h, i.e., h=1/N, and define ti =ih, i=0,1,2,…, N. Denote v(ti) = v(ih)=vi . (2).

Introduction and Review, cont. Then the discretized 1-D Poisson equation –v’’(t) = g(t) is vi 1 2vi vi 1 2 g (ti ), i 1, 2, , N 1 h To express it in matrix form, we use the Kronecker symbol 1, i j , ij i, j 1, 2, , N 1 0, i j, Then the discretized 1-D Poisson equation –v’’(t) = g(t) can be re-expressed as follows: 9 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. N 1 1 h2 j 1 i 1, j 2 i , j i 1, j v j g (ti ) *Remark: In Einstein’s summation notation, repeated index is summed, so the above equation takes the form: 1 2 i 1, j 2 i , j i 1, j v j g (ti ) h v1 g (t1 ) Because of the boundary condition, v g (t ) v(0)=0, v(1)=0, this means after 2 2 v , g discretization,v0 =0, vN =0. v N 2 g (t N 2 ) Denote vN 1 g (t N 1 ) and use the tridiagonal matrix 10 4.5.0.

For example, N=5, then h=1/5=0.2, given g(t)= t2, then we have 11 4.5.0.

A is symmetric positive definite; 12 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. (2). A is also very sparse when N is large, i.e., ai,j =0 if i>j+1 or j>i+1, so out of (N-1)2 elements of A, only fewer than 3(N-1) are nonzero. [2]. Discretization of Poisson equation in two dimensions Consider a Poisson PDE defined on an unit square, 0<x,y<1 on xy-plane: 2 u 2u 2 2 g ( x, y ) x y 13 4.5.0.

Usually the value of N can be fairly large, e.g., N=127 or N=1023 to get more precise result. 15 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont.

Introduction and Review, cont. Note that (1). A is non-singular, and positive definite, (2). u consists of the n = N2 unknowns {ui,j} organized as a vector with N2 components, and b is composed likewise from the values {bi,j} . Remark: Note that n can easily become very large. Even for a simple 2D case with N = 100, the matrix dimension is n = 10, 000. In 3D and the same h we would get n = 106, so A cannot even be stored as a full matrix. 23 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. This is even or the simplest problem of its type!

Review/Introduction on vector norm To understand convergence of iterative method in solving 25 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. a linear system, we need to know the notions of norm of a vector and norm of a matrix. <1>. Why study norm of vectors and matrices in numerical method As we know, (1). Absolute error and relative error are used to assess the quality of a numerical algorithm (2). Absolute error = distance between approximate solution and true solution 26 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. (3). Solution of linear system = a vector (4). To study errors, we must equip with the notion of distance between vectors and between matrices Norm of a vector or a matrix is just a generalization of the absolute value (or magnitude) of scalar. <2>. Definition of vector norms The norm of a n-dimensional vector x, denoted as ||x||, is a scalar function from Rn to R that satisfy 3 requirements: 27 4.5.0.

Definition of the convergence A sequence {x(k)}∞k=1 of vectors in Rn is said to converge to x with respect to a type norm ||.|| (lp-norm or l∞-norm etc.) if, given any ε > 0, there exists an integer N(ε) such that x ( k ) x for all k N ( ) [2].

Convergence of a sequence of vectors *Theorem: The sequence of vectors {x(k)} converges to x in Rn with respect to the l∞ norm if and only if lim xi( k ) xi for each i 1, 2, n k (2). Norm equivalence with respect to convergence Theorem: All norms on Rn are equivalent with respect to convergence; that is, if ||·|| and ||·||’ are any two norms on Rn and {x(k)}∞k=1 has the limit x with respect to ||·|| , then {x(k)}∞k=1 also has the limit x with respect to ||·||’ Application of the Theorem: one can choose a most 36 <5>.

Review/Introduction on matrix norms <1>. What is a norm of a matrix Matrix norm is scalar functions that map a matrix as a scalar (i.e., matrix as an argument). A norm for a matrix can be exactly defined as a norm for a n-dimensional vectors in n, since the vector space Mmn of all mxn matrices is isomorphic to Rmn. A matrix norm satisfies an additional property. 38 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. <2>. Definition A matrix norm on the set of all mxn matrices Mmn is a mapping that associates with each mxn matrix A a real number ||A||, called the norm of A, such that the following properties are satisfied for all mxn matrices A, nxp matrices B and all scalars c. 1. ||A|| ≥ 0 and ||A|| = 0 if and only if A=0. 2. ||cA||=|c| ||A|| 3. ||A+B||≤ ||A||+||B|| 4. ||AB||≤ ||A|| ||B|| (consistency condition) A matrix norm on Mmn is said to be compatible with a 39 4.5.0. Introduction and Review, cont. There are many ways to define a matrix norm satisfying the above requirements, e.g., the Frobenius norm ||A||F is m n a112 a122 amn ij 12 A F 2 a 2 i 1 j 1 The most useful norm is induced matrix norm (or operator form) of m × n matrix A for a given vector norm ||x|| (since it considers the effect of the matrix transformation): Ax A max max x 1 Ax x0 x 40
