We propose new parallel block ILU (Incomplete LU) factorization preconditioners for a nonsymmetric block-tridiagonal M-matrix. Theoretial properties of these block preconditioners are studied to see the convergence rate of the preconditioned iterative methods, Lastly, numerical results of the right preconditioned GMRES and BiCGSTAB methods using the block ILU preconditioners are compared with those of these two iterative methods using a standard ILU preconditioner to see the effectiveness of the block ILU preconditioners.

We introduce a class of multilevel recursive incomplete LU preconditioning techniques (RILUM) for solving general sparse matrices. This techniques is based on a recursive two by two block incomplete LU factorization on the coefficient martix. The coarse level system is constructed as an (approximate) Schur complement. A dynamic preconditioner is obtained by solving the Schur complement matrix approximately. The novelty of the proposed techniques is to solve the Schur complement matrix by a preconditioned Krylov subspace method. Such a reduction process is repeated to yield a multilevel recursive preconditioner.

We develop in this paper some preconditioners for sparse non-symmetric M-matrices, which combine a recursive two-level block I LU factorization with multigrid method, we compare these preconditioners on matrices arising from discretized convection-diffusion equations using up-wind finite difference schemes and multigrid orderings, some comparison theorems and experiment results are demonstrated.

It is well known that the ordering of the unknowns can have a significant effect on the convergence of a preconditioned iterative method and on its implementation on a parallel computer. To do so, we introduce a block red-black coloring to increase the degree of parallelism in the application of the block ILU preconditioner for solving sparse matrices, arising from convection-diffusion equations discretized using the finite difference scheme (five-point operator). We study the preconditioned PGMRES iterative method for solving these linear systems.
