Summary Recently, special attention has been given in the literature, to the problems of accurately computing the least-squares solution of very largescale over-determined systems of linear equations which occur in geodetic applications. In particular, it has been suggested that one can solve such problems iteratively by applying the block SOR (Successive Overrelaxation) and EGS1 (Extrapolated Gauss Seidel 1) plus semi-iterative methods to a linear system with coefficient matrix 2-cyclic or 3-cyclic. The comparison of 2-block SOR and 3-block SOR was made in [1] and showed that the 2-block SOR is better. In [6], the authors also proved that 3-block EGS1-SI is better than 3-block SOR. Here, we first show that the 2-block DJ (Double Jacobi)-SI, GS-SI and EGS1-SI methods are equivalent and all of them are equivalent to the 3-block EGS1-SI method; then, we prove that the composite methods and 2-block SOR have the same asymptotic rate of convergence, but the former has a better average rate of convergence; finally, numerical experiments are reported, and confirm that the 3-block EGS1-SI is better than the 2-block SOR.
