as required. By virtue of (37) it is plain to establish the relations
Here the parameter w is so chosen as to satisfy the 1nininmrn condition for
the function F ( w) by discovering that the functions Fi ( w) = (1-x 1 ) ( 1 + x 1 )
and F 2 (w) = (1 - x 2 ) (1 + x 2 ) attain the minimal values, respectively, for
w = 1/ ~ and w = 1/ ~· These points are are identical when
c5 1 f::..1 = c5 2 f::..2. In that case for w = l/~ = l/~ the inequality

If c5 1 f::..1 f- c5 2 f::..2, then w = l/.;r;5., where c5 = min (c5 1 , c5 2 ) and f::.. =
max ( f::..1, f::..2).
In comparison with the case of self-adjoint opera.tors the number of the
iterations is being increased in two times. This is clearly seen, for example,
frmn (38) by setting c5 1 = c5 2 = c5 and f::.. 1 = f::..2 = f::..:
It should be compared with
