SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 12, No. 4 (Sep., 1975), pp. 617-629 (13 pages) The method of conjugate gradients for solving systems of linear equations with a symmetric positive definite ...

We consider a class of iterative algorithms for solving systems of linear equations where the coefficient matrix is nonsymmetric with positive-definite symmetric part. The algorithms are modelled ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...
