Matrix compensation and diagonal compensation

open access: yesJournal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 1995
Let \(A\) be a symmetric positive definite matrix which is decomposed as \(A=B+R\) in some natural way. Typically \(B\) has a special sparsity pattern and \(R\) can be considered as a ``rest''. A matrix \(D\) is called a compensative matrix of \(R\) if \(D-R\) is positive semidefinite. Now define \(M=B+D\), so \(M\) is a compensative matrix of \(A\). \(
