Abstract:

Abstract. In this paper we analyze the BiCG algorithm in finite precision arithmetic and suggest reasons for its often observed robustness. By using a tridiagonal structure, which is preserved by the finite precision BiCG iteration, we are able to bound its residual norm by a minimum polynomial of a perturbed matrix (i.e. the exact GMRES residual norm applied to a perturbed matrix) multiplied by some amplification factors. Furthermore, the same analysis can be applied to the CG algorithm and we are able to relate the slowing down of convergence to loss of orthogonality in finite precision arithmetic. Finally, numerical examples are given to gain insights into these bounds. Key words.

Since its introduction by Lanczos [14] and later re-discovery by Fletcher [5] in its present form, the bi-conjugate gradient (BiCG) algorithm has evolved many variations (e.g. CGS, BiCGSTAB, QMR, CSBCG [19, 21, 6, 2]), each of which was specially designed to overcome some of its inherent difficulties (the need for adjoint matrix vector product, potential breakdowns, erratic convergence behavior,
