摘要
A parallel imaginary EBE (element-by-element )method for solving positive definite linear systems is presented. The EBE strategy is originally used as a sequential method[1.2], and later it is converted to a parallelmethod for solving finite element problem in solid mechanics[3]. The main contribution of this paper is to forma general parallel EBE method for the solution of anyPOsitive definite linear system through a so-called imaginary finite element technique. It is then POssible to use.finite elemental without finite element.
