Abstract

A method for computing a sparse incomplete factorization of the inverse of a symmetric positive definite matrix A is developed, and the resulting factored sparse approximate inverse is used as an explicit preconditioner for conjugate gradient calculations. It is proved that in exact arithmetic the preconditioner is well defined if A is an H-matrix. The results of numerical experiments are presented.
