    Solving certain queueing problems by means of regular splittings

    No full text
    AbstractWe analyze the problem of the computation of the solution of the nonlinear matrix equation X = Σi=0+∞ XiAi, arising in queueing models. We propose a technique based on regular splittings, that on one hand leads to a new method for computing the solution, and on the other hand, it may be used to construct nonlinear matrix equations equivalent to starting one, that can be possibly solved by applying different algorithms

    Separable Asymptotic Cost of Evaluating Elementary Functions

    No full text
    The computational cost, in the bit model of computation, of the evaluation of a real function f(x) in a point x is analyzed, when the number d of correct digits of the result increases asymptotically. We want to study how the cost depends on x also when x approaches a critical point for the function f. We investigate yhe hypotheses under which it is possible to give upper bounds on the cost as functions of "separated variables" d and x, that is as products of the two functions, each of one variable. We examine in particular the case of elementary functions

    Non Recursive Solution of Sparse Block Hessenberg Systems

    No full text
    A double-phase algorithm, based on the block recursive LU decomposition, has been recently proposed to solve block Hessenberg systems with sparsity properties. In the first phase the information related to the factorization of A and required to solve the system, is computed and stored. The solution of the system is then computed in the second phase. In the present paper the algorithm is modified: the two phases are merged into a one-phase version having the same computational cost and allowing a saving of storage. Moreover, the corresponding non recursive version of the new algorithm is presented, which is especially suitable to solve infinite systems where the coefficient matrix dimension is not a-priori fixed and a subsequent size enlargement technique is used. A special version of the algorithm, well suited to deal with block Hessenberg matrices having also a block band structure, is presented. Theoretical asymptotic bounds on the computational costs are proved. They indicate that, under suitable sparsity conditions, the proposed algorithms outperform Gaussian elimination. Numerical experiments have been carried out, showing the effectiveness of the algorithms when the size of the system is of practical interest

    A Polynomial Fit Preconditioner for Band Toeplitz Matrices in Image Reconstruction

    No full text
    The preconditioned conjugate gradient (CG) is often applied in image reconstruction as a regularizing method. When the blurring matrix has Toeplitz structure, the modified circulant preconditioner and the inverse Toeplitz preconditioner have been shown to be effective. We introduce here a preconditioner for symmetric positive definite Toeplitz matrices based on a trigonometric polynomial fit which has the same effectiveness of the previous ones but has a lower cost when applied to band matrices. The case of band block Toeplitz matrices with band Toeplitz blocks (BTTB) corresponding to separable point spread functions is also considered
