Abstract
The explicit Spike algorithm applies to narrow banded linear systems which are strictly diagonally dominant by rows. The parallel bottleneck is the solution of the so-called reduced system which is block tridiagonal and strictly diagonally dominant by rows. The reduced system can be solved iteratively using the truncated reduced system matrix as a preconditioner. In this paper we derive a tight estimate for the quality of this preconditioner.
