The proposed strategy is based on adaptive dropping that reflects the quality of preserving the relation UZ = I between the direct factor U and the inverse factor Z satisfying A = UT U and A−1 = ZZT . An important part of the approach is column pivoting used to minimize the growth of the condition number of leading principal submatrices of U that occurs explicitly in the dropping criterion. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the resulting approximate inverse factorization is robust as a preconditioner for solving large and sparse systems of linear equations.
