The solution of special linear, circulant-tridiagonal systems is considered. In this paper, a fast parallel algorithm for solving the special tridiagonal systems, which includes the skew-symmetric and tridiagonal-Toeplitz systems, is presented. Employing the diagonally dominant property, our parallel solver does need only local communications between adjacent processors on a ring network. An error analysis is also given. On the nCUBE/2E multiprocessors, some experimental results demonstrate the good performance of our stable parallel solver.ZusammenfassungWir betrachten die Lösung einer Klasse von speziellen tridiagonalen Gleichungssystemen, die schiefsymmetrische und Töplitz-Systeme einschließt, und geben einen schnellen, parallelen, Algorithmus dafür an. Bei Vorliegen von Diagonal-Dominanz benötigt unser paralleler Solver nur Kommunikation zwischen benachbarten Prozessoren auf einem Ring-Netzwerk. Eine Fehleranalyse wird angegeben. Einige experimentelle Resultate, die auf einem nCUBE/2E Gerät gewonnen wurden, zeigen das gute Verhalten unseres stabilen, parallelen Solvers.
