Perturbation of parallel asynchronous linear iterations by floating point errors

Pierre Spiteri, Jean-Claude Miellou, and Didier El Baz

Abstract

This paper deals with parallel asynchronous linear iterations perturbed by errors in floating point arithmetic. An original result is presented which permits one to localize the limits of perturbed parallel asynchronous linear iterations. The result is established by using the approximate contraction concept. Simple examples are studied.
