+\label{sec:04}
+\subsection{Multisplitting methods for sparse linear systems}
+\label{sec:04.01}
+Let us consider the following sparse linear system of $n$ equations in $\mathbb{R}$
+\begin{equation}
+Ax=b,
+\label{eq:01}
+\end{equation}
+where $A$ is a sparse square and nonsingular matrix, $b$ is the right-hand side and $x$ is the solution of the system. The multisplitting methods solve the linear system~(\ref{eq:01}) iteratively as follows
+\begin{equation}
+x^{k+1}=\displaystyle\sum^L_{\ell=1} E_\ell M^{-1}_\ell (N_\ell x^k + b),~k=1,2,3,\ldots
+\label{eq:02}
+\end{equation}
+where a collection of $L$ triplets $(M_\ell, N_\ell, E_\ell)$ defines the multisplitting of matrix $A$~\cite{O'leary85,White86}, such that: the different splittings are defined as $A=M_\ell-N_\ell$ where $M_\ell$ are nonsingular matrices, and $\sum_\ell{E_\ell=I}$ are diagonal nonnegative weighting matrices and $I$ is the identity matrix. The iterations of the multisplitting methods can naturally be computed in parallel such that each processor or cluster of processors is responsible for solving one splitting as a linear sub-system
+\begin{equation}
+M_\ell y_\ell = c_\ell^k,\mbox{~such that~} c_\ell^k = N_\ell x^k + b,
+\label{eq:03}
+\end{equation}
+then the weighting matrices $E_\ell$ are used to compute the solution of the global system~(\ref{eq:01})
+\begin{equation}
+x^{k+1}=\displaystyle\sum^L_{\ell=1} E_\ell y_\ell.
+\label{eq:04}
+\end{equation}
+The convergence of the multisplitting methods, based on synchronous or asynchronous iterations, is studied by many authors for example~\cite{O'leary85,bahi97,Bai99,bahi07}. %It is dependent on the condition
+%\begin{equation}
+%\rho(\displaystyle\sum_{\ell=1}^L E_\ell M^{-1}_\ell N_\ell) < 1,
+%\label{eq:05}
+%\end{equation}
+%where $\rho$ is the spectral radius of the square matrix.
+The multisplitting methods are convergent:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item if $A^{-1}>0$ and the splittings of matrix $A$ are weak regular (i.e. $M^{-1}\geq 0$ and $M^{-1}N\geq 0$) when the iterations are synchronous, or
+\item if $A$ is M-matrix and its splittings are regular (i.e. $M^{-1}\geq 0$ and $N\geq 0$) when the iterations are asynchronous.
+\end{itemize}
+The solutions of the different linear sub-systems~(\ref{eq:03}) arising from the multisplitting of matrix $A$ can be either computed exactly with a direct method or approximated with an iterative method. In the latter case, the multisplitting methods are called {\it inner-outer iterative methods} or {\it two-stage multisplitting methods}. This kind of methods uses two nested iterations: the outer iteration and the inner iteration (that of the iterative method).
+
+In this paper we are focused on two-stage multisplitting methods, in their both versions synchronous and asynchronous, where the well-known iterative method GMRES ({\it Generalized Minimal RESidual})~\cite{saad86} is used as an inner iteration. Furthermore, our work in this paper is restricted to the block Jacobi splitting method. This approach of multisplitting consists in partitioning the matrix $A$ into $L$ horizontal band matrices of order $\frac{n}{L}\times n$ without overlapping (i.e. weighting matrices $E_\ell$ have only zero and one factors). In this case, the iteration of the multisplitting method presented by (\ref{eq:03}) and~(\ref{eq:04}) can be rewritten in the following form
+\begin{equation}
+A_{\ell\ell} x_\ell^{k+1} = b_\ell - \displaystyle\sum^{L}_{\substack{m=1\\m\neq\ell}}{A_{\ell m}x^k_m},\mbox{~for~}\ell=1,\ldots,L\mbox{~and~}k=1,2,3,\ldots
+\label{eq:05}
+\end{equation}
+where $x_\ell$ are sub-vectors of the solution $x$, $b_\ell$ are the sub-vectors of the right-hand side $b$, and $A_{\ell\ell}$ and $A_{\ell m}$ are diagonal and off-diagonal blocks of matrix $A$ respectively. In each outer iteration $k$ until the convergence, each sub-system arising from the block Jacobi multisplitting
+\begin{equation}
+A_{\ell\ell} x_\ell = c_\ell,
+\label{eq:06}
+\end{equation}
+is solved iteratively using GMRES method and independently from other sub-systems by a cluster of processors. The right-hand sides $c_\ell=b_\ell-\sum_{m\neq\ell}A_{\ell m}x_m$ are computed using the shared vectors $x_m$. Algorithm~\ref{alg:01} shows the main key points of the block Jacobi two-stage method executed by a cluster of processors. In line~\ref{solve}, the linear sub-system~(\ref{eq:06}) is solved in parallel using GMRES method where $\MIG$ and $\TOLG$ are the maximum number of iterations and the tolerance threshold respectively.
