On the Relation between the AINV and the FAPINV Algorithms by Davod Khojasteh Salkuyeh, Hadi Roohani

“…The approximate inverse (AINV) and the factored approximate inverse (FAPINV) are two known algorithms in the field of preconditioning of linear systems of equations. Both of these algorithms compute a sparse approximate inverse of matrix 𝐴 in the factored form and are based on computing two sets of vectors which are 𝐴-biconjugate. …”
