PCICC

 Incomplete Cholesky factorization preconditioners.

Options Database Keys

-pc_factor_levels <k> - number of levels of fill for ICC(k)
-pc_factor_in_place - only for ICC(0) with natural ordering, reuses the space of the matrix for its factorization (overwrites original matrix)
-pc_factor_fill <nfill> - expected amount of fill in factored matrix compared to original matrix, nfill > 1
-pc_factor_mat_ordering_type <natural,nd,1wd,rcm,qmd> - set the row/column ordering of the factored matrix

Notes: Only implemented for some matrix formats. Not implemented in parallel.

For BAIJ matrices this implements a point block ICC.

The Manteuffel shift is only implemented for matrices with block size 1

By default, the Manteuffel is applied (for matrices with block size 1). Call PCFactorSetShiftType(pc,MAT_SHIFT_POSITIVE_DEFINITE); to turn off the shift.
