We investigate the adaptive sparse approximate inverse (SPAI) and adaptive power sparse approximate inverse (PSAI) preconditioning procedures and shed light on two important features of them: (i) For the large linear system $Ax=b$ with $A$ irregular sparse, i.e., with $A$ having $s$ relatively dense columns, SPAI may be very costly to implement, and the resulting sparse approximate inverses may be ineffective for preconditioning. PSAI can be effective for preconditioning but may require excessive storage and be unacceptably time consuming. (ii) The situation is improved drastically when $A$ is regular sparse, that is, all its columns are sparse. In this case, both SPAI and PSAI are efficient. Moreover, SPAI and, especially, PSAI are more likely to construct effective preconditioners. Motivated by these features, we propose an approach to making SPAI and PSAI more practical for $Ax=b$ with $A$ irregular sparse. We first split $A$ into a regular sparse $\tilde A$ and a matrix of low rank $s$. Then exploitin...
