Abstract

This paper presents a preconditioning method based on combining two-sided permutations with a multilevel approach. The nonsymmetric permutation exploits a greedy strategy to put large entries of the matrix in the diagonal of the upper leading submatrix. The method can be regarded as a complete pivoting version of the incomplete LU factorization. This leads to an effective incomplete factorization preconditioner for general nonsymmetric, irregularly structured, sparse linear systems.
