Abstract

The method of element preconditioning requires the construction of an M-matrix which is as close as possible to a given symmetric positive definite matrix in the spectral sense. In this paper we give a symbolic solution of the arising optimization problem for various subclasses. This improves the performance of the resulting algorithm considerably.
