Convergence properties of ART and SOR algorithms

Elsner L, Koltracht I, Lancaster P. Convergence properties of ART and SOR algorithms. Numerische Mathematik. 1991;59(1):91-106.ART algorithms with relaxation parameters are studied for general (consistent or inconsistent) linear algebraic systems Rx = f, and a general convergence theorem is formulated. The advantage of severe underrelaxation is re-examined and clarified. The relationship to solutions obtained by applying SOR methods to the equation RR(T)y = f is investigated

"Jairus, His Daughter, and the Haemorrhaging Woman (Mk. 5:21-43; Mt. 9:18-26; Lk. 8:40-56): Research Survey of a Gospel Story about People in Distress."

This article examines the history of interpretation of the pericope of the healing of the haemorrhaging woman and the raising of Jairus’ daughter (Mk 5.21-43; Mt. 9.18-26; Lk. 8.40-56). It starts with the earliest attempts to harmonize the synoptic accounts, and reviews medieval allegorical interpretations, historical-critical theories, including the apparent death (coma) theory, D.F. Strauss and mythical interpretation, form-criticism, the question of sources, literary and narrative approaches, socio-critical (feminist) interpretation, psychoanalytical criticism, and contextual (poststructural) readings
