Abstract

We apply our recent preconditioning techniques to the solution of linear systems of equations and computing determinants. We combine these techniques with the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula, its new variations, aggregation, iterative refinement, and advanced algorithms that rapidly compute sums and products either error-free or with the desired high accuracy. Our theoretical and experimental study shows the power of this approach.
