Abstract

In this note, we determine a new functional equation

[λ−(1−ω)(1−ω^)]p=λk[λω+ω^−ωω^]|ζL|−k[λω^+ω−ωω^]|ζU|−k⋅(ω+ω^−ωω^)2kμp,

which couples the nonzero eigenvalues of the USSOR (unsymmetric successive overrelaxation) iteration matrix Tω,ω with the eigenvalues of an associated block Jacobi matrix B in the p-cyclic case. Such function equations are of course direct descendants of the now famous functional equation

(λ+ω-1)2=λω2μ2

derived in 1950 by David M. Young, Jr. in his Harvard University thesis.
