Additional results on convergence and semiconvergence of three-step alternating iteration scheme for singular linear systems

The three-step alternating iteration scheme for finding an iterative solution of a singular (non-singular) linear systems in a faster way was introduced by Nandi et al. [Numer. Algorithms; 84 (2) (2020) 457-483], recently. The authors then provided its convergence criteria for a class of matrix splitting called proper G-weak regular splittings of type I. In this note, we analyze further the convergence criteria of the same scheme. In this aspect, we obtain sufficient conditions for the convergence of the same scheme for another class of matrix splittings called proper G-weak regular splittings of type II. We then show that this scheme converges faster than the two-step alternating and usual iteration schemes, even for this class of splittings. As a particular case, we also establish faster convergence criteria of three-step in a nonsingular matrix setting. This is shown that a large amount of computational time and memory are required in single-step and two-step alternating iterative methods to solve the nonsingular linear systems more efficiently than the three-step alternating iteration method. Finally, the semiconvergence of a three-step alternating iterative scheme is established. Its faster semiconvergence is demonstrated by considering a singular linear system arising from the Markov process.
