Gottfried Leibniz considered the divergent alternating series 1 − 2 + 4 − 8 + 16 − ⋯ as early as 1673. He argued that by subtracting either on the left or on the right, one could produce either positive or negative infinity, and therefore both answers are wrong and the whole should be finite:
A; vectors in lowercase bold, e.g. a; and entries of vectors and matrices are italic (they are numbers from a field), e.g. A and a. Index notation is often the clearest way to express definitions, and is used as standard in the literature. The entry in row i, column j of matrix A is indicated by (A) ij, A ij or a ij. In contrast, a single ...
One can obtain a more accurate preconditioner by allowing some level of extra fill in the factorization. A common choice is to use the sparsity pattern of A 2 instead of A; this matrix is appreciably more dense than A, but still sparse over all. This preconditioner is called ILU(1).
In other words, column j of A expresses the image of v j in terms of the basis vectors w i of W; thus this relation uniquely determines the entries of the matrix A. The matrix depends on the choice of the bases: different choices of bases give rise to different, but equivalent matrices . [ 61 ]
