On multi-step extended maximum residual Kaczmarz method for solving large inconsistent linear systems

Abstract: A multi-step extended maximum residual Kaczmarz method is presented for the solution of the large inconsistent linear system of equations by using the multi-step iterations technique. Theoretical analysis proves the proposed method is convergent and gives an upper bound on its convergence rate. Numerical experiments show that the proposed method is effective and outperforms the existing extended Kaczmarz methods in terms of the number of iteration steps and the computational costs.
