Robust parallel smoothing for multigrid via sparse approximate inverses

From MaRDI portal





Sparse approximate inverses (SPAI) are matrices \(M=(m_1 , m_2, \ldots , m_n)\) with a given sparsity pattern such that \(|e_k - A m_k|\) is minimal for each \(k\). Explicitly known smoothers (or preconditioners) have the advantage that they are suitable for parallel computers in contrast to Gauss-Seidel or ILU. It is shown that SPAI(0), i.e. diagonal matrices of this type are better than damped Jacobi although there is no parameter in SPAI(0). There are also some results for lesss sparse cases.
