Abstract

The conjugate Gradient Method relies on symmetric positive definite property of a matrix operator. In this work, we investigate and establish the case of non-positive symmetric matrix operator using various forms of conversions and transformations on the operator.

Key words: Hilbert Space, Positive Symmetric Matrix, Quadratic Functional, Conjugate, Gradient Method.
