Inverting the sum of a circulant and a diagonal matrix












2












$begingroup$


Is there an efficient way of (numerically) solving a linear system, where the matrix is a sum of circulant and diagonal matrices?
I need to solve a linear system of the form



(V+D)x=y



where




  • V is a circulant matrix, symmetric, positive definite, and invertible, but with eigenvalues spanning a wide range.


  • D is a diagonal matrix, the values on the diagonal varying between 0 and 1.



Either component can be easily inverted, D directly and V using Fourier technique, but their sum is not. I do get a solution via conjugate-gradient iteration, with V+I as preconditioner, but the convergence is painfully slow (without preconditioning it is horrible). I would need to solve this kind of system for thousands of times, with V always staying the same but D and y changing. The size of the matrix is of the order of 10^5.



Is there a general technique for solving this kind of linear systems, or alternatively, can someone suggest a better preconditioner?

    If either matrix is low-rank (or if the diagonal matrix has a lot of repeating values), the Woodbury matrix identity would be useful

    Do you mean $VV^T=I$?

    @Kosmoelina: $V$ is circulant and symmetric - so all off-diagonal elements are identical, similarly all diagonal elements?

    @user376343: Yes, that is true for V. The diagonal elements of D vary.
