We derive tight bounds for eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrices and obtain convergence rates of the corresponding SSOR-like iteration methods as well as the corresponding preconditioned GMRES iteration methods. Numerical implementations show that Krylov subspace iteration methods such as GMRES, when accelerated by the SSOR-like preconditioners, are efficient solvers for these classes of non-Hermitian positive definite linear systems.
