A sufficient condition for convergence of iterative methods of the form $M x^l=N x^{l-1}+b$ was given by {\it H. B. Keller} [J. Soc. Ind. Appl. Math., Ser. B Numer. Anal. 2, 281‒290 (1965; Zbl 0135.37503)]. Here the condition is generalized. The matrix $M$ need only be invertible on the range of the given matrix and not on the complete $n$-space. rv: Dietrich Braess (Bochum)
