A promising category of preconditioners for such systems form the algebraic multi-level ILU factorizations. The crucial aspects of these factorizations are ordering and dropping. In the variant developed in Groningen, called MRILU, the ordering is based on the magnitude of the elements and determined during the factorization phase. For the dropping local and global criteria are used. The thus developed method can handle matrices arising from structured and unstructured problems including systems of PDEs. Experiments reveal that the method is efficient and shows in several cases near grid independent convergence. MRILU has been applied to eigenvalue problems in combination with the JDQZ (Jacobi-Davidson method with deflation and restart). JDQZ is a Newton-like method with subspace acceleration. Due to orthogonality constraints, the Jacobian of the Newton correction equation has the form of an augmented matrix. The factorization of the augmented matrix is used as an approximate Jacobian. Hence, only one solve and matrix vector product are needed per iteration step in the resulting JDQZ method. The implementation is such that only the bordering part of the matrix changes at every step. Thereby the factorization of a new augmented matrix can be obtained by a small adjustment of the old factorization. The combination of MRILU and JDQZ yields an effective eigenvalue solver. For example, it was successfully used to find a range of critical eigenvalues of a Navier-Stokes Jacobian. % \subsubsection*{References} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} E.F.F. Botta and F.W. Wubs.
