Block Approximate Inverse Preconditioners for Sparse Nonsymmetric Linear Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. In this paper block approximate inverse preconditioners to solve sparse nonsymmetric linear systems with iterative Krylov subspace methods are studied. The computation of the preconditioners involves consecutive updates of variable rank of an initial and nonsingular matrix A0 and the application of the Sherman-MorrisonWoodbury formula to compute an approximate inverse decomposition of the updated matrices. Therefore, they are generalizations of the preconditioner presented in Bru et al. [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 25 (2003), pp. 701–715]. The stability of the preconditioners is studied and it is shown that their computation is breakdown-free for H-matrices. To test the performance the results of numerical experiments obtained for a representative set of matrices are presented.

It has been known that the sparse approximate inverse preconditioning procedures SPAI and PSAI(tol) are costly to construct preconditioners for a large sparse nonsymmetric linear system with the coefficient matrix having at least one relatively dense column. This is also true for SPAI and the recently proposed sparse approximate inverse preconditioning procedure RSAI(tol) procedure when the mat...

متن کاملApproximate Inverse Preconditioners for Some Large Dense Random Electrostatic Interaction Matrices
A sparse mesh-neighbour based approximate inverse preconditioner is proposed for a type of dense matrices whose entries come from the evaluation of a slowly decaying free space Green’s function at randomly placed points in a unit cell. By approximating distant potential fields originating at closely spaced sources in a certain way, the preconditioner is given properties similar to, or better th...
