A study has been made for the investigation of the robustness and convergence of various implicit operators of the LU-SGS scheme using linear stability analysis. It is shown that the behavior of the implicit operator is not determined by its own characteristics, but is determined relatively depending on the dissipative property of the explicit operator. It is also shown that, as the dissipation level of the implicit operator increases, the robustness of the scheme increases, but the convergence rate can be deteriorated due to the excessive dissipation. The numerical results demonstrate that the dissipation level of the impliict operator needs to be higher than that of the explicit operator for computing stiff problems.
