Approximate inverse techniques for block-partitioned matrices. (English) Zbl 0888.65035

Preconditioning options are proposed for system matrices in block-partitioned form. This form has many applications. For example, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations may be mentioned as such example. Approximate inverse techniques are used to generate sparse approximate solutions. The storage requirements for these preconditioners may be much less than for incomplete LU factorization preconditioners.
