Remarks

The Preconditioner<T> class serves as the abstract base class for classes that implement preconditioners in the context of iterative sparse solvers.

A preconditioner is am operator that approximates the matrix of the system of equations, but solving equations with the preconditioner in the left-hand-side is less expensive than solving the original system. When used with an iterative solver, the result is equivalent to solving a simpler system, often but not always leading to faster convergence.

The Preconditioner<T> class is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly. Instead, either use one of the built-in preconditioners, or implement your own preconditioner by inheriting from Preconditioner<T>. The built-in preconditioners are:

ClassDescription
IdentityPreconditioner<T>The preconditioner is an identity matrix. This is equivalent to not applying a preconditioner at all.
JacobiPreconditioner<T>The preconditioner is a diagonal matrix containing the inverse of the diagonal elements of the matrix.
IncompleteLUPreconditioner<T>The preconditioner is an incomplete LU factorization of the matrix with no fill-in, also known as ILU(0).

To define your own preconditioner, inherit from Preconditioner<T> and implement the SolveInto(TransposeOperation, Vector<T>, Vector<T>) method. Note that not all iterative solvers require the transpose solve.
