Parallel solution of pentadiagonal systems using generalized odd-even eliminationA method for the solution of pentadiagonal systems of linear equations is presented. The method is a generalization of ordinary odd-even elimination used for tridiagonal systems. Using n processors, an n x n pentadiagonal system can be solved using the new method (generalized odd-even elimination) in time proportional to log(2) n.
