Abstract

The solutions of Hermitian positive-definite Toeplitz systems Anx = b by the preconditioned conjugate gradient method are studied. The preconditioner, called the 'super-optimal' preconditioner, is the circulant matrix Tn that minimizes ∥I - Cn-1 AnF over all circulant matrices Cn. The convergence rate is known to be governed by the distribution of the eigenvalues of Tn-1 An. For n-by-n Toeplitz matrix An with entries being Fourier coefficients of a positive function in the Wiener class, the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrix Tn-1 An is found as n increases, and it is proved that they are clustered around one.
