Vaidya's preconditioners: Implementation and experimental study.
In this paper we compare the numerical performance on a set of ill conditioned problems of several algorithms for linear systems based upon the explicit QR factorization and the implicit LQ factorization associated with the Huang and the modified Huang algorithms in the ABS class. The results indicate that the modified Huang algorithm is generally more accurate than the Huang algorithm and competitive with commercial codes based upon the QR factorization with Householder of Givens reflections. The...
