Purpose
The paper examines the convergence characteristics of the “minimized residual method based on the MRTR (three‐term recurrence formula of CG‐type) method” for solving large linear simultaneous equations.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses an example of magnetic field analysis of permanent magnet type of MRI taking account of the minor loop and eddy current.
Findings
It is shown that the preconditioned MRTR method can get a stable and quick convergence for such a relatively ill‐conditioned problem.
Originality/value
Illustrates that the convergence of the Incomplete Cholesky Conjugate Gradient method is one of the important issues in the practical 3D magnetic field analysis.
