We present an efficient preconditioner for linear problems A x=y. It guarantees monotonic convergence of the memory-efficient fixed-point iteration for all accretive systems of the form A = L + V, where L is an approximation of A, and the system is scaled so that the discrepancy is bounded with ‖V ‖<1. In contrast to common splitting preconditioners, our approach is not restricted to any particular splitting. Therefore, the approximate problem can be chosen so that an analytic solution is available to efficiently evaluate the preconditioner. We prove that the only preconditioner with this property has the form (L+I)(I - V)⁻¹. This unique form moreover permits the elimination of the forward problem from the preconditioned system, often halving the time required per iteration. We demonstrate and evaluate our approach for wave problems, diffusion problems, and pantograph delay differential equations. With the latter we show how the method extends to general, not necessarily accretive, linear systems.
