Abstract

In this short paper, we decribe at least one simple and frequently arising situation |that of nonsymmetric real Toeplitz (constant diagonal) matrices| where we can guarantee rapid convergence of the appropriate iterative method by manipulating the problem into a symmetric form without recourse to the normal equations. This trick can be applied regardless of the nonnormality of the Toeplitz matrix. We also propose a symmetric and positive definite preconditioner for this situation which is proved to cluster eigenvalues and is by consequence guaranteed to ensure convergence in a number of iterations independent of the matrix dimension.
