Iterative refinement is an iterative method proposed by James H. Wilkinson to improve the accuracy of numerical solutions to systems of linear equations.[1][2]
When solving a linear system due to the compounded accumulation of rounding errors, the computed solution may sometimes deviate from the exact solution Starting with iterative refinement computes a sequence which converges to when certain assumptions are met.
