Approximate the coefficient matrix

A preconditioner need not be derived from the coefficient matrix. For instance, in the case of a higher order finite element matrix, incomplete factorization preconditioner are better derived from a linear element discretization of the same problem, since this matrix will be an M-matrix.

This preprocessor can perform the following approximations:
