Abstract

Consider the linear system Ax=b where the coefficient
matrix A is an M-matrix. In the present work, it is proved
that the rate of convergence of the Gauss-Seidel method is faster
than the mixed-type splitting and AOR (SOR) iterative methods for
solving M-matrix linear systems. Furthermore, we improve the rate
of convergence of the mixed-type splitting iterative method by
applying a preconditioned matrix. Comparison theorems show that
the rate of convergence of the preconditioned Gauss-Seidel method
is faster than the preconditioned mixed-type splitting and AOR
(SOR) iterative methods. Finally, some numerical examples are
presented to illustrate the reality of our comparison theorems.
