Abstract
The generalized successive overrelaxation method is an efficient tool for solving a class of two-by-two augmented systems. In this paper, we transform the weakly nonlinear equations into the form of such two-by-two augmented systems. By applying the generalized successive overrelaxation method to this augmented system, we develop a class of generalized successive overrelaxation like iteration methods for solving the weakly nonlinear equations. Under some reasonable assumptions on the matrix splitting and two relaxation parameters, we are able to establish the global convergence results of the proposed methods. As a by-product, we improve the existing convergence results of the successive overrelaxation like iteration methods in terms of giving a weaker convergence condition. Finally, we present numerical results to demonstrate the usefulness and efficiency of the proposed methods.
