Abstract:Consider a preconditioner M based on an incomplete LU (or Cholesky) factorization of a matrix A. M−1, which represents an approximation of A−1, is applied by performing forward and back substitution steps; this can present a computational bottleneck. An alternative strategy is to directly approximate A−1 by explicitly computing M−1. Preconditioners of this kind are called sparse approximate inverse preconditioners. They constitute an important class of algebraic preconditioners that are complementary to the ap… Show more
