Polynomial convergence bounds are considered for left, right, and split preconditioned GMRES. They include the cases of Weighted and Deflated GMRES for a linear system Ax = b. In particular, the case of positive definite A is considered.…
Given a univariate polynomial, its abscissa is the maximum real part of its roots. The abscissa arises naturally when controlling linear differential equations. As a function of the polynomial coefficients, the abscissa is H{\"o}lder…
