Abstract

We consider a nonsymmetric Toeplitz system which arises in the discretization of a partial integro-differential equation in option pricing problems. The preconditioned conjugate gradient method with a tri-diagonal preconditioner is used to solve this system. Theoretical analysis shows that under certain conditions the tri-diagonal preconditioner leads to a superlinear convergence rate. Numerical results exemplify our theoretical analysis.
