Skew-tridiagonal Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel iterations

For A=μ−1I+U−UT, with U the four-dimensional unit superdiagonal, the Jacobi method has eigenvalues 2iμcos(jπ/5), j=1,…,4. The Gauss-Seidel method has two zero eigenvalues and −μ2(3±5​)/2. Therefore both methods converge for every starting vector exactly when 0<∣μ∣<(5​−1)/2. This equality of convergence ranges follows from their spectra, not from positive-definiteness of the nonsymmetric coefficient matrix.
