A Twisted Block Tangential Filtering Decomposition Preconditioner

الملخص EN

For block-tridiagonal linear system of equations, a variant of tangential filtering preconditioners is proposed in this paper.

The new variant is based on a twisted block factorization along with certain filtering property.

For practical usage, a class of composite preconditioners tested, which are constructed by combining the twisted tangential filtering decomposition preconditioner with the classical ILU(0) preconditioner in a multiplicative way.

The performance of the new preconditioners is compared with other classical preconditioners; the superiority and the weakness of the preconditioners are pointed out.
