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
The ILUM factorization described in this paper can be viewed as a multifrontal version of a Gaussian elimination procedure with threshold dropping which has a high degree of potential parallelism.

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.

On the stability of the incomplete LU-factorizations and characterizations of H-matrices
Summary. Meijerink and van der Vorst [8] have shown that the incomplete LU-factorizations are numerically stable for M-matrices. Varga, Saff and Mehrmann [16] gave some characterizations of the…
Comparative Analysis of the Cuthill–McKee and the Reverse Cuthill–McKee Ordering Algorithms for Sparse Matrices
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.
