Successive Over-Relaxation (SOR) method
Note: By putting ω = 1 in the above then the SOR is deduced to Gauss-Seidal method. In
general, if ω =1.875 the rate of convergence is twice as fast as that when ω=1; whereas
if ω =1.9 the rate of convergence is 40 times greater than that when ω=1 1

Successive Over-Relaxation (SOR) method
For each component (sweeping 1→2→3→4), use newest values available as like
Gauss-Seidal (GS)
Rule of thumb (SOR/GS):
Use initial guess T(0)=(0,0,0,0) and a typical over-relaxation ω=1.25 3
