Abstract
This paper brings to attention recent developments in algorithms to efficiently solve linear systems resulting from the discretization of systems of population rate equations which arise in X-ray laser kinetics modeling. Specifically, we report the success of two variants of the preconditioned gradient method, namely the preconditioned conjugate gradient square (PCGS) algorithm and the method of generalized conjugate residuals (GCR) in solving non-LTE rate equations.
