Abstract
We present an incomplete UL (IUL) decomposition of matrix which is extracted as a by-product of BFAPINV (backward factored approximate inverse) process. We term this IUL factorization as IULBF. We have used ILUFF [3] and IULBF as left preconditioner for linear systems. Different versions of ILUFF and IULBF preconditioners are computed by using different dropping techniques. In this paper, we compare quality of different versions of ILUFF and IULBF preconditioners.
