In numerical analysis, a field within mathematics, an incomplete LU factorization of a matrix is an sparse approximation of the LU factorization. Incomplete LU factorization is often used as a preconditioner.
Famous quotes containing the word incomplete:
“Each of us is incomplete compared to someone else, an animal’s incomplete compared to a person ... and a person compared to God, who is complete only to be imaginary.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
