Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Summary We discuss the convergence of a two‐level version of the multilevel Krylov method for solving linear systems of equations with symmetric positive semidefinite matrix of coefficients. The analysis is based on the convergence result of Brown and Walker for the Generalized Minimal Residual method (GMRES), with the left‐ and right‐preconditioning implementation of the method. Numerical results based on diffusion problems are presented to show the convergence.
