Abstract

In this paper, we consider the solutions of symmetric positive definite, but ill-conditioned, Toeplitz systems Anx = b. Here we propose to solve the system by the recursive-based preconditioned conjugate gradient method. The idea is to use the inverse of Am (the principal submatrix of An) with the Gohberg-Semencul formula as a preconditioner for An. The inverse of Am can be generated recursively by using the formula until m is small enough. The construction of the preconditioners requires only the entries of An and does not require the explicit knowledge of the generating function f of An. We show that if f is a nonnegative, bounded, and piecewise continuous even function with a finite number of zeros of even order, the spectra of the preconditioned matrices are uniformly bounded except for a fixed number of outliers. Hence the conjugate gradient method, when applied to solving the preconditioned system, converges very quickly. Numerical results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach.
