and for j>i, i-i i-i a. = -[Aii +kiAikC.ki-, A.1 k+kiA-k kja, 1 I ik ki L 1k kj which proves 4), 5), and 6). The theorem is proved. Thus, it is always possible, for combinations of Gauss-Seidel and Newton-Raphson, to evaluate the convergence matrix, a. This allows an estimation of the convergence properties of a solution procedure modified in this manner. Provided that the expanded incidence matrices are kept reasonably small (through choice of blocking factors) the problem of eigenvalue calculation does not become prohibitively time consuming. It should also be noted that in general only one Gauss- Seidel and one Newton-Raphson block will be present. Therefore, the calculation of c from A remains reasonably simple. Presently, Gauss-Seidel and Newton-Raphson are the only different solution procedures proposed and analyzed by GENIE. As alternative solution procedures are implemented, means must be derived fioi calculating the a matrix with them present.
