Symmetrization and symmetric preconditioning.


n this section we document a negative result. We make a natural attempt to switch to a symmetrical problem and find that such transformation does not bring noticeable benefit.

We start from the equation MATH of the section ( Diagonal preconditioner ) and multiply it with the operator MATH . We obtain a system with symmetrical matrix: MATH We aim for the matrixes $H$ and $V$ to be as small as possible. The symmetrization step took us in opposite direction.


Matrix V
Matrix $V$ for $\Delta t_{n}=1$ .

We note that we cannot apply the diagonal preconditioner of the section ( Diagonal preconditioner ) because such operation looses the symmetry. Hence, we attempt the following transformation: MATH for some new diagonal matrix MATH that we select from minimization of Frobenius norm. We calculate MATH and we select $D$ by minimizing MATH . Observe that MATH then MATH We seek the local minimum: MATH MATH MATH We arrived to a system of linear equations: MATH The symmetry is the only good feature of this system.


Matrix Lambda
Matrix $\Lambda$ for $\Delta t_{n}=1$ .

The numerical experiment in the script blackDp.py shows that the condition number of $\Lambda$ for $\Delta t_{n}=1$ is 1883. The good thing is we do not need $d_{k}$ to be exact. However, given results of the non-symmetric line of calculation, this is not worth pursuing further.
