Foil 14 Successive Over Relaxation II

From Collection of Extra Foils for CPS615 PDE Iterative Solution Discussion CPS615 Spring Semester 00 -- March 00. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 You can show that for Jacobi, best choice is ? = 1 i.e. that relaxation strategy is not very useful
2 For Gauss-Seidel, then in simple one dimensional case with N grid points, one can show that there is an optimal choice ? = 2 ( 1 - ? / N) i.e. almost equals 2
3 Then the number of iterations needed by optimal SOR to get a given error can be shown to be proportional to N not N2 as in Jacobi or Gauss Seidel. So Ratio of Iterations is:
4 Jacobi 2 N2/ ?2
5 Gauss-Seidel N2/ ?2
6 SOR on Gauss-Seidel N/ ?
