Abstract:
Multiple solution of systems of linear algebraic equations by the BiCGStab method is considered. For the problem of computing the capacitance matrix of a microstrip line in a range of its sizes, two acceleration methods are suggested. The first one consists in using the solution of a previous system as the initial guess for the current system. The second one consists in applying to all systems a preconditioner computed for the first system. The efficiency of these acceleration methods in solving a large series of linear systems with small changes in arbitrary matrix entries is demonstrated on numerical experiments.
Key words and phrases:multiple solution, linear algebraic system, iterative method, preconditioning, initial guess, capacitance matrix, microstrip line, variation of sizes.
