block_diag_ilu is an open source C++ single header-file implementation of an incomplete LU decomposition routine suitable for diagonally dominant (square) block diagonal matrices with sub- and super diagonals of small magnitude. It is useful for preconditioning linear systems. The use-case in mind is for integrating discretized PDEs of mixed chemical kinetics / diffusion problems where the diffusion process may be accurately considered a mild perturbation.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so if your matrix looks anything like this:

Diagonally dominant block diagonal matrix with sub- and super-diagonals

then its LU decomposition then looks like this:

LU decomposition of same matrix

then block_diag_ilu should be able to save quite a bit of time when solving linear systems approximately, e.g. for preconditioning.

Conditional compilation

The following macros affect the compilation:

Macro name

Action (when defined)

Default

NDEBUG

use std::unique_ptr instead of std::vector as underlying data structure.

undefined

BLOCK_DIAG_ILUT_WITH_OPENMP

factorize blocks in parallel. Set the environment variable BLOCK_DIAG_ILU_NUM_THREADS to control number of threads.

undefined

BLOCK_DIAG_ILU_WITH_GETRF

Use unblocked (parallell) internal implementation of LAPACK’s dgetrf.

undefined

setup.py will set these when envinronment variables with those are set to “1”.
