PCICC#

Incomplete Cholesky factorization preconditioners [CVDV97]

Options Database Keys#

  • -pc_factor_levels - number of levels of fill for ICC(k)

  • -pc_factor_in_place - only for ICC(0) with natural ordering, reuses the space of the matrix for its factorization (overwrites original matrix)

  • -pc_factor_fill - expected amount of fill in factored matrix compared to original matrix, nfill > 1

  • -pc_factor_mat_ordering_type <natural,nd,1wd,rcm,qmd> - set the row/column ordering of the factored matrix

Notes#

Only implemented for some matrix formats. Not implemented in parallel.

For MATSEQBAIJ matrices this implements a point block ICC.

By default, the Manteuffel shift [Man79] is applied, for matrices with block size 1 only. Call PCFactorSetShiftType(pc,MAT_SHIFT_POSITIVE_DEFINITE); to turn off the shift.
