A dual reordering strategy based on both threshold and graph reorderings is introduced to construct robust incomplete LU (ILU) factorization of indefinite matrices. The ILU matrix is constructed as a preconditioner for the original matrix to be used in a preconditioned iterative scheme. The matrix is first divided into two parts according to a threshold parameter to control diagonal dominance. The first part with large diagonal dominance is reordered using a graph-based strategy, followed by an…

TLDR
Experimental results show that the presented strategy improves the accuracy and the stability of the preconditioner on solving indefinite sparse matrices and ensures that convergence rate of the Preconditioned iterations of the two-phase preconditionsing strategy is much better than that of the standard sparse approximate inverse ones for solving indefinite matrices.

An Assessment of Incomplete-LU Preconditioners for Nonsymmetric Linear Systems

TLDR
A direct method is currently more appropriate than an iterative method for a general-purpose black-box nonsymmetric linear solver and pivoting is even more important for incomplete than for complete factorizations.

TLDR
It is proved that for band elimination methods, the two orderings are equivalent and that, surprisingly, the reverse ordering is always at least as good as the original one when envelope elimination techniques are used.
