Are there algorithms for solving a sequence of sparse linear systems of the form $(x_iI+B)y_i = b$?
$begingroup$
I am struggling to solve a sequence of linear systems of the form
$$(x_i I + B ) y_i = b, quad i = 1,2,dotsc,$$
where $I$ is identity, $x_i$ is a real number and $B$ is sparse. Both the matrix $B$ and the right-hand side $b$ are independent of $x_i$. Both $B$ and $b$ are complex.
Iterative methods are inapplicable here because
$$||B^{-1}|| ,,,, text{sup}_i ,,, |x_{i+1} - x_i| gg 1. $$
Can I exploit the fact that all matrices have the same sparsity pattern?

A number of iterative methods are applicable to your problem. You should explain which methods are excluded by your condition.

Can’t you solve it as $B y_i = b - x_i$ with a direct solver? Then you’ll factor the matrix only once and then solve the problem with multiple righthand sides?

Why do you think a Jacobi preconditioner won't work? It looks like the diagonal is much larger than the spectrum of $B$?
