In this paper, based on the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting (HSS) iterration method,
a singlr-step HSS (SHSS) iteration method is introduced to solve the non-Hermitian positive definite linear systems. Theoritical analysis shows that, under a loose restriction on
the iteration parameter, the SHSS method is convergent to the unique solution of the linear system. Furthermore, we derive an upper bound for the spectral radius of the SHSS
iteration matrix, and the quasi-optimal parameter is obtained to minimize the above upper
bound. Numerical experiments are reported to the efficiency of the SHSS method; numerical comparisions show that the proposed SHSS method is superior to the HSS method
under certain condition
