Abstract

The computational solution of problems can be restricted by the availability of solution methods for linear(ized) systems of equations. In conjunction with iterative methods, preconditioning is often the vital component in enabling the solution of such systems when the dimension is large. We attempt a broad review of preconditioning methods.
