In numerical linear algebra, the Gauss–Seidel method, also known as the Liebmann method or the method of successive displacement, is an iterative method used to solve a system of linear equations. It is named after the German mathematicians Carl Friedrich Gauss and Philipp Ludwig von Seidel .
In linear systems, the two main classes of relaxation methods are stationary iterative methods, and the more general Krylov subspace methods. The Jacobi method is a simple relaxation method. The Gauss–Seidel method is an improvement upon the Jacobi method.
In numerical linear algebra, the method of successive over-relaxation (SOR) is a variant of the Gauss–Seidel method for solving a linear system of equations, resulting in faster convergence. A similar method can be used for any slowly converging iterative process .

An early iterative method for solving a linear system appeared in a letter of Gauss to a student of his. He proposed solving a 4-by-4 system of equations by repeatedly solving the component in which the residual was the largest [ citation needed ] .

The Stein-Rosenberg theorem, proved in 1948, states that under certain premises, the Jacobi method and the Gauss-Seidel method are either both convergent, or both divergent. If they are convergent, then the Gauss-Seidel is asymptotically faster than the Jacobi method.
The main idea of multigrid is to accelerate the convergence of a basic iterative method (known as relaxation, which generally reduces short-wavelength error) by a global correction of the fine grid solution approximation from time to time, accomplished by solving a coarse problem. The coarse problem, while cheaper to solve, is similar to the ...
