Abstract

This study addresses a general sparse matrix A. Different strategies for choosing a-priori an approximate sparsity structure of A-1 are compared. Following this, heuristic methods to find good and sparse approximate patterns for A-1 are developed using the characteristic polynomials and the Neumann series associated with A and AT A. Further, the submatrices that are used in the SPAI algorithm to compute one new column of the sparse approximate inverse are exactly determined.
