Abstract

The solution of special linear, circulant-tridiagonal systems is considered. In this paper, a fast parallel algorithm for solving the special tridiagonal systems, which includes the skew-symmetric and tridiagonal-Toeplitz systems, is presented. Employing the diagonally dominant property, our parallel solver does need only local communications between adjacent processors on a ring network. An error analysis is also given. On the nCUBE/2E multiprocessors, some experimental results demonstrate the good performance of our stable parallel solver.
