Notes: A block
<A HREF="../Sys/size.html#size">size</A> of 1 treats A as a matrix of scalar elements. A
block <A HREF="../Sys/size.html#size">size</A> of s &gt; 1 treats A as a matrix of sxs
blocks. A block <A HREF="../Sys/size.html#size">size</A> of 0 treats A as a matrix with
variable sized blocks, which are determined by
searching for dense square diagonal blocks in A.
This can be very effective for finite-element
matrices.
<P>
SPAI will convert A to block form, use a block
version of the preconditioner algorithm, and then
convert the result back to scalar form.
<P>
In many cases the a block-<A HREF="../Sys/size.html#size">size</A> parameter other than 1
can lead to very significant improvement in
performance.
