com.numericalmethod.suanshu.matrix.doubles.matrixtype.sparse.solver.iterative.stationary
Class JacobiSolver

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.numericalmethod.suanshu.matrix.doubles.matrixtype.sparse.solver.iterative.stationary.JacobiSolver
All Implemented Interfaces:
IterativeSolver

public class JacobiSolver
extends java.lang.Object
implements IterativeSolver

In each iteration, Jacobi method solves n equations in the linear system Ax = b in isolation sequentially. For the i-th equation, we solve for the value of xi while assuming the other entries of x remain fixed. The convergence of this method is slow.

Preconditioning is not supported in this solver.

             throws IterativeSolver.ConvergenceFailure
Description copied from interface: IterativeSolver
Solve iteratively
Ax = b
until the solution is close enough, i.e., the norm of residual (b - Ax) is less than or equal to the specified iteration.

In each iteration, the newly computed iterate is added to the IterationMonitor for statistics or diagnostic purpose.

Specified by:
solve in interface IterativeSolver
Parameters:
problem - the problem of solving Ax = b
monitor - an IterationMonitor instance
Returns:
the computed solution for the problem
Throws:
IterativeSolver.ConvergenceFailure - if the algorithm fails to converge
