Abstract

We consider the system of linear equations Lu = f, where L is a nonsymmetric block Toeplitz-like-plus-diagonal matrix, which arises from the Sinc-Galerkin discretization of differential equations. Our main contribution is to construct effective preconditioners for this structured coefficient matrix and to derive tight bounds for eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrices. Moreover, we use numerical examples to show that the new preconditioners, when applied to the preconditioned GMRES method, are efficient for solving the system of linear equations.
