NUMERICAL ANALYSIS 1 PROJECT

This project involved testing different preconditioning methods to improve the convergence of solutions to large systems. We studied and applied the Block Jacobi and Symmetric Successive Over-Relaxation (SSOR) preconditioning methods to three systems of size 494x494, 1922x1922, and 1824x1824. It was evident that preconditioning undoubtedly improves the convergence, and that the SSOR method works better for larger systems while the Block Jacobi method works better for comparatively smaller systems.
