<P>
Notes: A block
size of 1 treats A as a matrix of scalar elements. A
block size of s > 1 treats A as a matrix of sxs
blocks. A block size 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-size parameter other than 1
can lead to very significant improvement in
performance.
